State-of-the-Art Software
Developed by an editorial staff of 30 teachers, the heart of each Berlitz Premier foreign language package is a software module designed to make learning fast, fun and effective. The key attributes of the software include:

• Total Immersion: Users learn by listening to actual conversations.
• Multimedia Learning: Users enhance their knowledge by watching and listening to native speakers in real-life situations.
• Flash Card System: Users learn more than 1,000 vocabulary words and phrases with this proven interactive method.

Comprehensive Language Courses on Four Berlitz Audio CDs
