We sell the "retail" versions of Tell Me More - 
not networkable, but the package "Instant 
Immersion Spanish Deluxe has the Beginning, 
Intermediate and Advanced levels for $45.00 
(version 5 of Tell Me More) and the "Instant 
Immersion Spanish Platinum" package has version 6 
of the Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced 
Levels with 8 audio cds for oral comprehension 
for $125.00 - if you want Castillian Spanish.
The networkable version has more exercises, but 
these bundles have enough for most schools and universities.

For Mexican Spanish, there is no better program 
than "Learn to Speak Spanish" for $34.95 - 4 
cd-roms and an audio cd - grammar goes all the 
way to the subjunctive and it includes speech 
recognition and assessment - some of the 
activities you click on the right answer, others 
are true and false, others you give the answer 
verbally and others you spell it out. Very 
entertaining - but again, not networkable.

There is also "Spanish Grammar Tutor" we sell for 
$145.00 for an UNLIMITED site license (for one 
building on campus) - grammar goes to the 
subjunctive and is totally editable - add exercises on any topic you want.

Email me off list if you need more information or 
want to preview any of these for 30 days.
