Speech Recognition & Analysis
Train and improve your pronunciation! Select from over 2000 words and 1200 phrases. The Recording Session with Voice Recording and Visualized Playback Technology enables you to record your own speech and compare it to the tutor's voice to determine your accuracy.

Custom Preference Settings
Customize the interface to suit your preferences. Choose a male or female narrator's voice. Set preference of single language or dual language (your native language and the language you are learning) for on-screen text display. Choose whether to have background sounds while participating in Panoramic Scene Activities.

Native Language Interface
Learn to speak using your own native language! Most language software sold in the U.S. requires you to first be proficient in English before you can learn another language. Not with Quickstart Immersion! Help and menus, words and phrases, games and tests can all be changed to the native language of your choice.
