Oh my god this is the most stupid site ever to study Spanish. I don't know why my stupid college require the access to this site. I paid $210 dollar to buy a custom book make by this site, with full access code. There should be course Materials, Tools and eText, but I cannot use the online version of the textbook. When I contact with Pearson, they give me very ambiguous answer. I had to call them 3 times because the first 2 one barely speak that English that can make a native American can understand.
All the exercises made by Pearson is SO stupid. They aren't gonna help you get better - it's actually better to stay at home and learn the language yourself than to waste time on doing this site's assignments. It penalizes you for not capitalizing, for mistyping, it doesn't update frequently, and it requires my to turn off my pop-up blocker, which makes my computer vulnerable to pop-up ever since.
That is so much worse compare to FREE site like Duolingo, About.com, Babbel, etc. Those sites know what is important when a person needs to learn a new language.
If my next Spanish class requires access code to this site again, I'm dropping that class.
