 I found it very good December 28, 2007

I found Asterix Latin an interesting way to learn Latin. It is intended, as the producers say, for intermediate and advanced students. It's a bit expensive, but not a bad product.
 Horrible! September 10, 2007

The Beginners Level edition of Talk Now! has a total of 44 words of vocabulary with no grammar or further description. Three of the words are the numbers one, two, and three. Don't waste your money!
It does however, install easily and has a nice, simple user interface. It requires the disk to be in the CD drive for copy protection. The diction is clear and the words are pronounced the way my Latin teacher pronounced them.
Not very useful January 22, 2005

Okay, you should get your first clue as to how tailored this software is to learning Latin from the claim "Recording tools let you record your own voice, to compare pronunciation with a native Latin speaker."
There haven't been any native Latin speakers in quite some time. If they found some secret recordings of Cicero--- it would be worth quite a bit. And no, neither Latin America nor the Vatican count.
You see Latin broke into many spoken dialects which later evolved into the various "Romance" languages. No one really knows for sure how the original Latin was pronounced.
Very little grammar is taught in this software.
This is useless March 19, 2004

I bought this to help my son who is having trouble in Latin at school, although I was a little skeptical of the title "Talk Now." I should have trusted my reservations. This is just a cheaply created imitation of language immersion programs; the first two practice phrases include the words "beer" and "telephone." No grammar; no conjugations or declensions; no vocabulary lists. This is of NO use to a Latin student; I can't imagine who it could be used by. Even spoken Latin is primarily liturgical.
