Who Is Oscar Lake? is the first
language-learning program of its kind anywhere. You won’t find repetitive drills or
endless vocabulary lists here. Instead, Oscar Lake
plunges you directly into a foreign city where you must solve a puzzling mystery in a
new language. Experts agree that language immersion is the most effective way to
learn a second language. With Oscar Lake
you learn by hearing, seeing and doing. And because you interact directly
with all the characters you meet, you control the pace of the story, the speed of the
learning and even the outcome of the game. But be careful! With its multiple possible
endings, Oscar Lake can make you the
hero who recovers the stolen diamond or the goat who ends up taking the rap!
