I hate anything with speech recognition, because it's almost certainly wrong. Get a proper native speaker to check your pronunciation. Computers can't even recognise a native speaker half the time. And if they're not telling you exactly where you're going wrong and how to fix it like a professional teacher would, then you're not going to learn anything.The Babbel apps are quite good, especially if you are in the habit of carrying a phone/tablet device. They offer a broad range of vocabulary and grammar constructions, and with video, too, they have a more contemporary feel than Linguaphone. I find having to repeat pronunciation for accuracy a tad frustrating, at times, but I suppose it's forcing you to conform to an acceptable and,therefore, comprehensible pattern of speech.

If you try to learn a language from courses, tapes, computers,tutors etc you will only get as far as 'tourist level' I.e able to order a few beers, book a hotel room, converse with the locals on basic issues without having to point etc etc -but it is worth getting to this basic level.
The only way to become anywhere near fluent is to live in the country for at least six months and sprechen zee lingo for all that time without recourse to any English ( that will take you at best to conversational level but well short of more advanced communication required in business for example).
This is what most people who take up a language don't realize. They imagine they will become fluent by taking up a course and when they realize this isn't the case they lose interest. Best to have realistic expectations and then you won't be disappointed .
