Language Learning with First Click on Slovene

First Click on Slovene is an interactive multimedia CD-ROM for learning Slovenian as a foreign language. It is intended for English speakers without any prior knowledge of Slovenian language. The user learns the minimal vocabulary and acquires the basic verbal skills of the language, useful in everyday situations: at work, in public places, or in spare time. Although the CD-ROM is designed to be used by learners working alone, it has proven to be a helpful tool also for a teacher in the class. In the paper, we first introduce the computer assisted language learning (CALL) and the role of multimedia in language acquisition. Then we explain the motivation and main ideas of our work. The description of the developed CD-ROM follows: the course structure, its content and the system implementation. The discussion on future work concludes the paper.
