Wow! I am really enjoying Praktica. My first 2 lessons I feel like I've received an energy boost instead of plotting along in these slow pace other language programs. With Praktica you start spiking with somebody immediately, they give you hints, suggestions, everything's translated for you if needed. You're learning strictly the language you want to learn. I've been using other programs for years, and this immediately feels so much better. Stop wasting your time with the other programs.
