Rating: - EuroTalk Interactive - Talk Now! Learn Malayalam
I ordered this DVD with interactive lessons, and i-pod download... and I really like it. It has 6 or 7 categories.,,, 1st words, colors, body parts, phrases, countries, telling time, more words, etc . Then there are like 4-5 things you can do. 1st they say the word and you repeat. Then there's easy game (they say a few things, then hide and say and you find them., like memory) and hard game,,, they say only in malayalam... and another game.. then there's a voice recorder where the easy version, they say, you repeat... and hard version.. you say show me 4, 8, or 10 things and in so much time you say the names.... and it records you on both, and you can play it back and on both they say it 1st so you can compare how you sound. Also, for everything, there's a man and a woman speaker, so you hear 2 pronunciations. and sometimes (I know it is with hindi) the female word seems to end in "A:" and the male in "uh"... anyway... you do all the parts and your score grows toward a goal of like 1800.
Also, there's a printable "picture dictionary" on each section, And on that, the malayalam typeface is also on it, so you learn the written form, And for visual learners, ther pictures trigger words.
Then, there's i-pod integration. On your ipod it says the english word on your screen while they say the malayalam word (phrase), It's by far the best learning tool I've got so far, I only wish it would go on with more words/phrases after I have this mastered.
I really like it and the only bad part is that for malayalam they only have the one beginner product, where for hindi, ie, they have 5 products.., 3 levels and learning tools.
