What they do (at least with my version back then) is put a group of photos on the screen, speak a sentence and then you have to choose the photo that goes with it. There is never any explanation of what the words mean. You are supposed to eventually just figure it out through repetition. Perhaps it's great to use in addition to other courses, but I didn't attempt that.
