Linguaphone		The success of Linguaphone is based on the simple Linguaphone method of ‘Listen, Understand, Speak.' You learned a language as a child using just this method, and you can learn a new language as an adult too. Irrespective of what course you are using the method will be built into the overall design of the course. Listen The audio parts of your course introduce you to listening to a foreign language at an easy pace. Your ears soon become accustomed to the new rhythms and sounds.

Living Language		comment form amazon customer 1) COST - obviously paying $125 for this program vs. $500 for Rosetta Stone is a huge bonus for me. 2) LEARnING PROCESS - This system focuses on reading through chapters with exercises and listening to audio files to support the chapters. The content in the audio files is just like the book. Where audio files help the most is if you don't know how to pronounce the words it helps to hear it and hit rewind over and over again.	4	9	49 - 125
Mastering Spanish		This also uses the guided imitation method and is actually a pre-cursor to the Platiquemos method. Mastering Spanish is basically the first 2 of the 8 levels of the Platiquemos program before it was improved by Don Casteel and Multilingual Books.	3	12 hours	79
