Recommended by son's Computer Teacher. Son turned 7 this summer, and used program. Taught himself how to type with hardly any assistance from us. Keeps their interest with games/skills. Motivates kids to 'get to the next level'. A little challenging at first to figure out format, but once you get rolling, they can use themselves.

This version of Ms. Beacon's software makes typing even more enjoyable to learn. It is really adaptive to how well you can type - it picked up that I was an intermediate typist after a few lessons - you can't con Ms. Beacon it seems.
A few points are
1)It would be preferable if you could customize this software to eliminate some types of lessons - for example I want to touch type letters and numbers but not the minor punctuation keys like brackets -
2)The import facility is great up to a point but when you add the text from internet sources it tends to add weird hypertext characters which are annoying as you want just to type text.
3)The games are basic and not very challenging - I enjoyed a game called typing of the dead which pushes my touch typing to the limit ... Read More

Software : Learn to Speak Spanish: The Complete Interactive Learning Solution (4 CD-ROMs, Version 8.0)
This stuff is a bit outdated, but I have no trouble using it with Windows XP. Suffice it to say that this software is actually quite good, especially now that it's so cheap. There are a lot of listening activities, vocab, etc. In fact, it's oddly similar to the newer Transparent Language products... hmm.

Anyway, give this program a try - it's a great buy and a lot of fun.

Also, look for the Practice Makes Perfect vocabulary software - they sell it on eBay for <$10 and it's just as good as Transparent's $50 equivalent (or Rosetta Stone's $500 version).

Though the book is quite complete and comes with a bunch of standard tests on the cd-rom, the text on the book refers to the audio cds time and time again, even though you don't have them. That renders most of the book's exercises useless.
