Staples B&M has "Spanish Now" (433589), "Italian Now" (433596) and "French Now" (433590) on sale for $19.94. Each package comes with a $20 rebate. The packages also include one of those cheap Mics that sticks onto your monitor.

According to the rebate form inside the box, you may use up to 3 rebates per household.

Cool software. Used by the US government & major teaching institutions if the blurbs inside the package are correct. Heck of a deal considering these are $50 packages.

Also, it checks your pronunciation using waveforms.

FYI about the $20 rebate....

My gf picked up the French software in July 2000.... Sent in rebate promptly.

Rebate "should" have been back around Sept or October. It JUST came in the mail last week.

Those rebates....ugh . Do you have copies of everything ? Some retailers like Costco will stand behind them and give you the $ without a fight (they realize what a satisfied customer is worth) if the rebates don't show up . I don't how Staples is about this. I guess I'll take the gamble and buy the Spanish version today.


Edit/ updatee- I bought it today 19.94 + sales tax - MIR. The rebate form asks for the usual name, address, phone #, email stuff and.... a short 6 question questionaire with 4 innoccuous questions but then you get to #5 m or f (okay no big deal) then #6- Birth date MM/DD/YY(OK I could give them a fake date but I would rather give no personal info - they're going too far . I intend to called them and find out if the questionaire portion is optional.

(Bump) This is a useful program. I called their rebate # and got a recording to dial another # (the Language Now #) which refered me to a 3rd # for rebate questions. I asked about the DOB thing and the guy told me year of birth is OK (obviously they'll get a random one but I'd rather leave this item blank)

I also purchased 2 of these software titles from Staples in early December. I still haven't gotten the rebates, which totaled $80 at the time of purchase. After about 5 phone calls I've been told they are currently paying out rebates for items purchased in October. With any luck they say I might see my money in May.

So, buy them if you need them, but not just because they're free! Unless you don't mind them holding your money for 6 months.

Six months to get a rebate is an outrage! My family and I have played around a bit with the Italian title and the software does make learning another language a lot easier and more fun than what I remember from those Spanish classes in high school.
