Staff Review

WordAce! is a really nifty program if you translate a lot of words while using a computer. It is essentially a bilingual dictionary and verb conjugation tool on CD-ROM, but also includes two language games that test both your vocabulary and your ability to conjugate verbs properly.

The excellent design of this program makes it suitable for both language professionals and language learners. If you buy more than one language of WordAce! then you can translate between all the different languages with a single interface (this is both unique and immensely useful). The language games are definitely more academic than other language programs I have seen and a lot harder. WordAce! still runs (although no voice is available) when the CD-ROM is not in the drive, so you can use WordAce! and still enjoy your compact disc collection (like I do!). Another great program from Transparent Language.
