Can you comment on the quality of materials and the process?
I looked at the website and there is a sample from a Latin class... except it is an automated voice that doesn't read/pronounce the words correctly. For instance, there is a picture of a graphic art dog next to a new lesson topic and the audio of the lesson says "...dog android..." and then proceeds to mis-pronounce Latin words.
If an automated voice tries to pronounce Spanish words using English pronunciation rules, then this Spanish class we are considering is not going to be especially helpful. And frankly, it's going to turn my kid off from doing the work at all.
So, how good/bad are these VV classes?
