Not all language learning software are the same. Just as there are good language programs, there are bad ones, too. The trick is identifying when you’ve got a lemon and not wasting any more time on them.
- Read reviews. The internet is a place teeming with people’s reviews on endless varieties of products, language software included. That means, you will find plenty of notes from fellow learners about any title you’re considering buying. Make sure you read other people’s opinions and take them into account.
- Realistic promises. A language software that promises fluency in three months sounds exciting. If they can’t back it up with genuine evidence, however, it’s likely false advertising. When you read a sales pitch, think of it as persuasive essay – look for the evidence and reasoning behind the claims. If there are none, forget it.
- Bad suit. Some programs are just a bad suit for your particular learning preferences. They may not necessarily bad, but they don’t work well for you. If you find yourself with one of these, try to get a refund immediately. In case that’s not available, then learn from the mistake and take more time considering the next language material you pay for. If something doesn’t work, don’t force it – your time is more valuable than that.
