Buen Viaje Level 1 & Level 2

Activities Disc

Contains video, audio, record-and-playback features! Interactive conversations allow students to "take part" in conversations with native speakers, compare their pronunciation with that of a native speaker, and record cultural readings with follow-up activities. On-location videos enable students to experience the cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.

Windows

Issue: Will the program work on Windows 2000 and XP?

Solution: The program was cursory tested on Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional and appeared to work just fine.

Our customer base uses a wide variety of operating systems and applications and our software must be developed to be used on some lower end systems to meet our customer needs. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that our software will always work as expected as new operating systems and other applications are developed. We encourage you to give our products a 'test drive' on any new system you plan to implement. If you are not satisfied with the performance of our products, we will do our best to deliver a compatible product to you in a timely manner or refund your money.

MAC

Issue: Will the program work on Mac OS X?

Solution: This program seems to have issues with OS X. It will not work in the X environment or the 9.2 Classic mode. It appears to work if the computer is rebooted directly into OS 9.2.
