    • Love this device! If you're not already commited to a specific learning program, read the last section for some helpful tips.
Some of the problems other users have found with this device are logical design implementations. I'll mention some. The processing is slower for battery conservation reasons. If you lower the contrast, it's still clearly readable and you'll extend the battery life even more. The text size can be permanently changed via the settings option. This device far exceeded my expectations. In the future, better headphones (the one's they give are very big for the average ear), will add some major points to this already great product. In addition, the device could use a separate rechargeable Li-battery (or other comparable internal power storage) that'll recharge the device via the USB port to prevent losing the data stored in settings and the customizable folders; sort of like the small battery used to power the CMOS chip in your pc that, in short, holds all the information needed to start you pc properly. If you don't send electrical current to your pc over a long period of time, that battery will drain and die, along with all the boot-up information. Very sad. It's the same deal here, only it happens much quicker (if you take more than a couple seconds to switch your batteries. Backup your data. Don't get all mental with the thing like you do your Blackberry, iPhone, etc., or it will freeze and you'll have to reset it, thereby losing your data. You'll be able to "feel" the device out within the first 30 minutes, knowing how fast you can push it. I would remove the "word of the day" function as the device has no "permanent on" function, so after 5 (or less, depending on the setting) minutes, it'll shut-off and you'll have to take extra time to bypass the word of the day again. Cumbersome, if you're doing a lot of translating during your readings. If you are not already committed to a Spanish learning program or the one your using is not working out for you, I have some tips if you haven't had the time to collect your own. It's for those really wanting to be in command of the Spanish language. A good command of basic Spanish grammar is essential if this is going to be of good benefit to you. There's a book you can buy on Amazon called "Spanish Grammar for Independent Learners"; it's the one I used, but there are many. If you've taken a foreign language immersion course, they'll tell you repeatedly not to get bogged down on grammar. Once you use the below methods, the grammar will automatically kick in in many cases (by "kick in", I mean the subconscious decoding of the language itself). Buy used DVD's of your favorite movies and put the subtitles on. When the subtitles display on the screen, press the pause button. Picture the scene visually in your head and say the phrase from the screen. Do not translate in your head, "ok, this in English, means this in Spanish". Listen to the Actor/Actresses lines only for context. While the DVD is paused, visualize the scene while saying the phrase. This will imprint the language and it's corresponding visual imagery in the visual processing centers of the brain. Storing information visually in your head will work thousands of times faster than plain rote-memorization. DVD's that are emotional are especially effective as they also involve the Limbic system located in your brain, which governs emotions. Think back on your past and you'll find the most vivid memories involved strong emotions, good or bad. Emotions, strong visual imagery, and verbalizing the Spanish translation only will speed up your foreign language learning drastically. You may want to go to the FSI Language Site for free intensive Spanish study material. It's all digital and it's public domain, so it's free. This is the same material used to teach Government personal. There are many people copying the material and selling this stuff on different websites. Do not be taken. It is free. The website is-[...]. As in [...]. If the web site is not shown in the previous sentence, just type "FSI language courses org" in google and you're there. With programs like Rosetta Stone, you can hold a basic conversation when you're through all the programs. With these, you'll be able to work as a bona fide translator, once you work on your speed. You rarely see these programs marketed all over the place because you have to more than just want to have a strong command of the language. The material is somewhat dull and extremely repetitive; the only way you'll get it engraved in your head, so it's second-nature. Learning a new language is not peaches and berries (did I say that right?), so just look at your goal. The end result. There's a ton of other languages on there too. You're paying for the imagery with Rosetta Stone. The only problem is the lack of "original awareness" in those programs. You're using their images to learn the language, instead of your own which are far more effective in memorizing the material. These are hardcore, requiring the amount of time that most people nowadays are just not willing to put in. I'm from la, so not learning the language edged me out of positions that I wanted. Very, very frustrating. I purchased popular books for Amazon, such as Jurassic Park and Misery in both English and Spanish and also popular books for reading the language as it is spoken in everyday language. The content is the same. I stayed away from recently published ones, as the Spanish translations in those tend to be pricey. I looked for subjects (via the Amazon query search box) that included everyday language and then put the word "Spanish" directly behind the specific name of the book I wanted; this pulled up (if any) the Spanish editions. Huge bestsellers will more than likely have a Spanish edition. My favorite way was to use Google translator to take Spanish news sites and translate them into English. You can download the toolbar for easy one-click access that translates it in a second. I print both and use the English one only as a reference when I need help (it isn't perfect, but it's very good compared to the software of the old days). Update since last post: I just discovered the Oxford Spanish Dictionary on CD-rom. This thing is a beast and incredibly useful if you don't need a mobile dictionary-like this Franklin speaking dictionary-for on the go. It has one-click access to pronunciation for each entry, "copy and paste" talking function for anything you find on the web, split-second searches and tons of sentence usages for helping your brain decode the language. It's a must buy for anyone who has constant access to a desktop or laptop who want to know the language inside and out, and as always, can be found at a great price on Amazon. I can only find a Windows version for it though. These programs, the visualization techniques , the novels, the DVD's, reading the news sites with Google translator and this Franklin Spanish dictionary, allow you to create your own immersive program without having to sell your family to move to Costa Rica. That and about 5 hours a day. It was worth it. One more important note from many well-known linguists: Never translate English into Spanish when learning the language. Spanish rarely translates directly to English in a "clean" way. Grab the idea and the corresponding mental pictures and connect those to your learned Spanish. When you learn the translation of something, you dump the English translation after grabbing the idea (mental picture); then you use that idea as a reference when attempting to construct your sentences in the future. You do not want to etch direct English-Spanish or Spanish-English translations in your brain. It was a habit I had to learn to unlearn. On final note: About a couple hundred hours into intensive foreign language study, it'll "click". From there, it's all about vocabulary and learning the individual nuances involved in the language. People usually quit before this can happen. Your brain will reward you for intensive and focused effort. Good luck. ... show more

    • Excellent for beginners and travelers
As many reviewers note, there are a lot of "features" to this device, but I want to focus on what I think is most important--all of the rest is just "bells and whistles." It includes a good beginners-level dictionary that would also serve the needs of travelers. Beginners frequently look up words (too frequently--they should take the meaning from the context when they can, and look up words only when necessary). When they do need to know the meaning of a word they can find it up more rapidly by pushing keys on the keybord than they can turning pages and scanning columns of print. And this dictionary will often find the right word for them if they type in a conjugated form instead of the infinitive. As a bonus, it will pronounce it for them. The small size of this dictionary (about the size of a deck of cards) allows you to carry it in your pocket when you are travelling, so it will be available when you need to decipher an unfamiliar word on a sign or a menu. Since the word list is relatively small (about what you would find in a good paperback dictionary) it does not have the common obscenities such as "cabron" and "joder." It doesn't have "granujeria," (dirty trick or prank), but it does have "zalamera," (fawning or flattering). I'm sure that it has all of the words in the first 5000 in frequency--expletives aside--and it has tens of thousands more, as well. In short, I think that it may be the best first-dictionary for beginners and a very handy tool for travellers. The other features, such as the calculator, English thesaurus, and conjugation tables are merely nice adjuncts. (I should add that the congjugation tables take the first person singular through all of the tenses, then the second person singular, etc., which is not at all what you would probably be expecting.) ... show more

    • It works very well
It was not a first hand purchase, so there were few nicks on -- I had not realized when purchasing it that it was not a first but used. However, it works very nicely and the person sending it took care to wrap it safely, provide a copy of the instructions and sent a set of batteries so I could immediately test it and get to work with it. I do like it. It was just the nicks and realizing it wasn't a first hand purchase that threw me back. ... show more

    • ALWAYS IN MY POCKET
I am a native spanish speaker, living in Pittsburgh and I bought this translator because I am tired to carry my dictionary in my purse and is all kilter. Anyway I've been trying it and I read some comments which said that it was a really complicated gadget and IT'S NOT TRUE, unless you don't have any idea about simple technologic things like a calculator. I would like to clap the pronunciation because the words I heard, they have a perfect spanish pronunciation, without any accent and it helps me a LOT any second with grammar and pronunciation with my english as well. After all, it was a good purchase but it took me time to have it , so if you are willing to recieve soon, just buy it with two weeks in advance. ... show more

    • This could be great but isn't
It does a lot of useless things but doesn't do a lot of what is needed. The very first Spanish work I looked up wasn't in it, but it was in my Websters Pocket Dictionary. Pocket dictionaries aren't famous for being complete, so what does that say about this? For every Spanish verb that it knows, it knows every possible form and tense, but when you look up a odd form of something it tells you what the infinitive is. That's nice but why doesn't it tell me what tense the word I looked up is; that's what I need to know. I could go on and on about what it doesn't do. On the other hand it is easier to use then a book dictionary. I does give a sort of understandable pronunciation that seems helpful. I've had it a month or two and it hasn't broken. I've never used the English thesaurus, but why would I? I'm learning Spanish. Why is it taking up potentially useful space anyway? If I paid full price I wouldn't be very happy with it. ... show more
