The Keys to Successful Language Learning

1. You are having fun.
Research shows that when something is fun--you're playing, interacting, laughing--you're more likely to remember it because your brain is engaged. This is why we based our entire language-learning program around game-playing. Plus, when you know something is fun, it will keep you coming back again and again.

2. You are not overwhelmed.
We know the thought of learning a new language is overwhelming. This is why every one of our games can be completed in 10 minutes or less. Imagine your language-learning goal is a sandwich. You wouldn't cram it all in your mouth at once, would you? No. Sure, you'll finish it all, but one bite at a time.

3. You can fit it into your life.
We know you have a million things to do, and we recognize language learning is probably not the first thing on your to-do list (no matter how much we wish it was). This is why we give you a ton of different ways to learn, from computer games and audio lessons for your iPod to written activities in the workbook and interactive fun on your TV!

What's in the Box

  • DVD-ROM
  • Interactive DVD
  • Complete Audio Course on MP3
  • CD-ROM (Not included in Chinese Mandarin or Japanese)
Six-Month Money-Back Guarantee

Product Description

Discover Spanish through the magic of a great teacher

Fluenz Spanish is based on three principles:

1) There's no substitute for a great tutor. It's often difficult to motivate yourself to learn a language on your own. Having a teacher to challenge and inspire you, while explaining exactly how the language works, makes all the difference.
2) The best way for adults to learn Spanish is with explanations in English. For example, it is impossible to understand the difference between the critical Spanish verbs "ser" and "estar" without a clear explanation in English. With Fluenz, a real tutor guides you in English along a path specifically designed for Spanish.
3) It's best to learn the most relevant words in Spanish right away. Fluenz has you handling a wide range of real-world situations right from the start.

Story Development Features

Scene View

Outline your script ideas and re-order scenes in this high level overview.
With the Scene View you can look at your script from a 5,000 foot view and select, drag and drop one or more scenes to reorganize your ideas as you outline. Insert new scenes easily, and hide or show information important to you such as the scene's action, title and summary. Scene View also displays a scene's color so you can quickly identify one scene from another. Print your Scene View or just view it alongside the script. With a double-click you can sync the script to instantly go to any scene you've selected in Scene View.

Scene Navigator

Manage and view the important details of your scene in this sortable floating palette.
Manage the pace and flow of your story and keep track of up to 9 categories of information related to your scenes. The Scene Navigator is a sortable, customizable floating palette that displays details about your script such as a scene's title, color, page number, length and location, and best of all it syncs with the script with a single-click. As your script progresses you can pick and choose the columns of information that are relevant for that phase of writing.

Scene Properties Inspector (SPI)

Add scene titles and colors to track your story lines, characters, etc.
Track data specific to each scene in this new floating palette such as the scene's story beats that will eventually make up the Action, Characters and Dialog of the scene. Add and edit your scene's title such as 'Villain introduced', and add color to the scene to help you track things like storylines, character arcs, and material you need to get back to later. Like the Navigator, the SPI will display the details of whatever scene you're working on in your script so that you have your summary notes handy as you need them.

Index Cards

Easily outline your story and restructure your script by dragging and dropping multiple scenes at a time
This improved feature has double-sided cards that display the script's scene on one side and the summary on the other. The Summary View allows you to enter ideas directly into the index card such as your basic outline, notes, sequence or act markers, comments, locations, blocking... anything you need to build and organize your story. You can also color your Index Cards to help organize themes, character arcs, A and B stories, etc. Select and rearrange multiple cards at once if you need to re-order your scenes or print your Index Cards directly on 3x5 or 4x6 cards for use in the 'traditional' way if you want to visualize and organize scenes outside of the application. Double-clicking on a card in Split Panel View will automatically sync the scene selected with your script.

File Format (now XML)

Other software now works seamlessly with the new Final Draft .fdx file format.
Final Draft version 8, has a new file format that we have shared with a number of technology partners to make the writer's overall experience better. Now you can save to the new Final Draf't file format in a variety of products. Your information can then be opened directly in Final Draft with perfect format and structure. No more reformatting in Final Draft and no more re-typing or lost information!

Writing/Rewriting Features

The Panels System

Keeps your script in sync with Index Cards and Scene View
Like most writers, you probably need to keep a lot of ideas at the front of your mind while you're writing. With the Panels System, you can split your screen into separate panels and view your script pages in one panel while you view another section of the script, your Index Cards or Scene View in the other panel. With the Panels System you can compare two scenes' dialog and pacing side by side even though they may be separated by a vast number of pages. If you want an overview of each scene, use the Index Cards or Scene View on one side and the script in the other. A double-click in any scene will keep the panels in sync.

Templates

Jumpstart your writing by using one of our built-in templates
Television show, screenplay, stage play and graphic novel templates are included to help get you started. Looking for an old series no longer on the air? The Final Draft Online Template Library is updated regularly and allows registered users to download additional templates directly from finaldraft.com.

Page Count Management

Now you have even more control about what fits on a page
Our new Leading Style in version 8 allows you to adjust the spacing of the entire script or you can select individual sections of text and adjust their spacing to help manage your page count

Built-in Spell-Checking and Thesaurus

Now you have the ability to select an additional language
The vastly improved spell-checking engine comes with English (US) and a built-in thesaurus plus the option to install one of 15 additional language spell-checkers and thesauri. The application provides real time auto-spell check, catches capitalization errors and will assist you in finding synonyms. With definitions for 80,000 plus words from Merriam-Webster and a full thesaurus, you have all the tools at your fingertips. In addition, all the words you added to your user dictionary from version 7 will automatically populate your user dictionary when you install version 8.

Remember Workspace

No more searching for the correct draft you were just working on
It's important if you are working among multiple drafts to make sure that you are editing the correct one. With the new Workspace preference, you can have Final Draft open all the files you had open, in the order you were working on them, the last time you worked in Final Draft.

Final Draft Courier Font

An improved appearance at high magnification helps your eyes during those long rewrite sessions
Having a consistent page count that production companies and studios can depend on to help them estimate their budgets is crucial when working on a script. That's why Final Draft offers its own font that will ensure proper pagination on both Windows and Macintosh. With version 8 we have made the font easier on the eye so you can better endure when you're writing for long periods of time.

Printing and PDF Options

Greater flexibility, more options and improved printing interface put you in the driver seat
Now, not only can you print your script in its entirety, you can choose which sets of revisions you want to print and you can print other views such as the Scene View and Index Cards. We've added the ability for you to print directly on 3x4 or 4x6 index cards and print your script directly to PDF so you can decide whether to send a full script or subset of pages to someone via PDF. The Title Page is also conveniently available as an option to include in your PDF or printed output.

Writing Management

Track your daily writing goals
Use the Statistics Report to check how much content you've completed in a writing session to help you manage your writing goals. You can also track things such as your ratio of Action to Dialog and whether there may be some unnecessary profanity in your script if you're attempting to 'clean it up.'

ScriptNotes

Keep track of ideas and feedback about sections of your script
These effective pop-up windows hold your ideas, suggestions or scene fragments that you've cut but don't want to toss without taking up space onscreen. Use ScriptNotes to provide feedback on a particular scene when reviewing your partner's script or print your ScriptNotes as a report for easy reference when reviewing your script.

Tab and Enter functions

Simple keystrokes make learning Final Draft a snap
You can install and start using Final Draft within minutes due to the easy-to-use Tab and Enter functionality that helps format all of the various types of script elements to Industry Standards.

ScriptCompare

Easily track your changes between drafts of your script
Compare two drafts of the same script (.fdr or .fdx) and Final Draft will highlight any changes, allowing you to easily see the differences from one file to the next.

Text to Speech

Have a 'table reading' anytime you want
Have your script read back to you by assigning different male and female voices to each of your characters. You can even assign a narrator for action and other non-dialog script elements. Powered by the text-to-speech engines built-in to Windows and Mac OS -- it's like having a live script reading in your computer.

CollaboWriter

Write with other Final Draft users anywhere with an Internet connection
Write, edit and discuss a script with other Final Draft users in real time, over the internet, anywhere in the world. You can transfer 'control' back and forth between individuals so that one person makes changes at a time, ensuring that information isn't lost during rewrites.

Format Assistant

Scan your script for any errors--it's like having a copy editor at your side
This useful tool checks your script for common formatting errors, such as missing dialogue, extra spaces, carriage returns and blank elements. You can set it to run every time you print or only when you want it to.

100% Cross-Platform

Share your script files with Mac or Windows users
Final Draft scripts are identical on both Windows and Macintosh platforms and can easily be exchanged between both.

Script Registry

Direct access for registering your work
Final Draft is a preferred file format and the only scriptwriting software with an authorized agreement with the WGAW online registry service.

Production Features

Final Draft Tagger 2

Break down your script and prep it for scheduling applications
This updated stand-alone application reads any Final Draft script and enables you to "tag" elements within the script [cast, costumes, props, etc.] and export the results into most scheduling applications. Tagger allows you to select text from the script and add any element with a click of the mouse in any category for that scene--or for any or all scenes where that element appears. The element text is highlighted and color coded, and can be customized to suit the way you like to work. Created with the help of veteran Assistant Directors, Producers and Unit Production Managers, Tagger means no more going over a paper script again and again with highlighters.

Revisions/Page Locking

Easy-to-use tools for handling script changes once you go into production
From the ability to omit scenes, lock pages and A-pages as well as set your revision colors, version 8 provides you all the tools you'll need to take your script through production. With version 8, we've created a new feature that will automatically track the page header's revision color so you can issue one set of revisions or all of them as needed. Merging pages that have been cut once a script is locked is also a snap. With new how-to tutorials, you have step-by-step instructions on how to merge pages without affecting your overall page count. Final Draft also includes standard revision colors in each film and television template.

Title Page, Cast Pages and Locations Pages

Cover pages come pre-formatted for industry standards
All of the Final Draft Television Templates come pre-set with easy-to-use information for each series such as the specific cast list and typical sets/locations. Our Standard One-Hour and Half-Hour Templates will also help you get started on pilots by providing what information should appear in the finished product. The added bonus is that the Title Page uses its own numbering for tracking the following pages so it won't add to your overall page count.

Customizable Reporting

Get immediate stats to help you develop your script and keep it on budget
Final Draft offers seven different reports to give you quick facts about your script. The Scene Report, for example, provides a snapshot of the scene's length, cast, starting page number and location. The Location Report will inform you how often a location is used and will group the scenes by INT/EXT. The Character Report includes an 'appearance summary' so you know how frequently one character speaks, versus the other characters, as well as the total word count for the character. Use the ScriptNotes Report to get a quick scan of all the notes in your script based on each scene and page. The Statistics Report will allow you to track daily writing goals by displaying how many words you've written along with details on the types of elements you used and what percentage of the script they make up. Need to cast your characters? You can instantly create then print or email Character Sides for any speaking parts in your script.

Boost Your Score! The Unofficial Software Guide to the Real ACT

By: Advantage Point Test Prep
Our price:


Platform: Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
  • Comprehensive analysis of student performance on 6 real ACT tests--The free official test on the ACT website and the 5 official tests in The Real ACT Prep Guide (sold separately)
  • Pinpoints the exact areas students need to improve
  • Resource database of tutorials, quizzes, worksheets, and links to boost every skill tested on the ACT
  • Bonus strategy worksheets full of proven (and sometimes sneaky) test-taking strategies for each section of the ACT
  • Includes little-known, easy to program programs for your TI calculator that will save you time, energy, and brainpower on the ACT math section.

Product Description

Congratulations! You have stumbled upon one of the most powerful ACT test prep tools on the market.

Because the ACT is so predictable, taking and analyzing official ACT tests is key to success on test day. Therefore, we strongly recommend that students study with ACT, Inc.'s The Real ACT Prep Guide, the only book on the market with real ACTs. However, this book has several shortcomings.
-The Real Guide doesn't give you a "big picture" view of the skills you need to improve.

-Even if you realize what skills you need to improve, the Real ACT Prep Guide doesn't review any skills tested on the ACT.

-The Real ACT Prep Guide doesn't offer practice problems.

-The Real ACT Prep Guide doesn't offer "sneaky" strategies. After all, this would be a conflict of interest for them.

Boost Your Score! is the solution. This software offers:
-A comprehensive analysis of students' strengths and weaknesses based on performance on 6 real ACT tests (the free test on the ACT website and the 5 tests in The Real ACT Prep Guide)*.

-Pinpoints the exact skills students need to improve

-Comprehensive review of all skills tested on the ACT

-Links to practice problems, quizzes, interactive worksheets, and tutorials to boost any skills needing improvement.

-Powerful, proven strategies for all sections

Requires: Internet connection to access resources. As of 9/1/11, software does not require MS Excel.

*We provide a link to the free practice ACT on the ACT website. The other 5 tests are in The Real ACT Prep Guide.
(Please note that the tests in the (much cheaper) previous version of the Real ACT Prep Guide are identical to the first 3 ACTs in the newer version and can also be scored by the software. Either version can also be found at your local library for free.)

    The Keys to Successful Language Learning

    1. You are having fun.
    Research shows that when something is fun--you're playing, interacting, laughing--you're more likely to remember it because your brain is engaged. This is why we based our entire language-learning program around game-playing. Plus, when you know something is fun, it will keep you coming back again and again.

    2. You are not overwhelmed.
    We know the thought of learning a new language is overwhelming. This is why every one of our games can be completed in 10 minutes or less. Imagine your language-learning goal is a sandwich. You wouldn't cram it all in your mouth at once, would you? No. Sure, you'll finish it all, but one bite at a time.

    3. You can fit it into your life.
    We know you have a million things to do, and we recognize language learning is probably not the first thing on your to-do list (no matter how much we wish it was). This is why we give you a ton of different ways to learn, from computer games and audio lessons for your iPod to written activities in the workbook and interactive fun on your TV!
