There's no use buying a beginners-only program if you've got the basics down. Conversely, don't be too ambitious if you're not up to speed on things. Maybe you've already taken a few Spanish courses and feel competent starting at an intermediate level. Maybe you don't know a lick of French. Either way, you can find a program that works for so long as you look carefully. Maybe you need an intensive program that will let you get a language down in a matter of months or weeks. Or maybe you want something with a more gradual climb to the top. Thankfully, almost all language software run the gamut from beginner to expert. Still, be careful and read reviews.
What Language(s) Do You Want To Learn?
This should be pretty intuitive stuff. There are programs that cater to almost any specific language you can think off. There are also comprehensive software packages that feature several languages with one purchase price. Some of these multi-lingual packages can be useful, but be sure the specific language you want to learn is included and is comprehensive enough to suit your needs.

How Old Are You?
If you're 40 years old and you don't mind Mickey Mouse or Reader Rabbit teaching you Italian, then age is probably not high up on the priority list. However, going the other way, its very important when purchasing foreign language software for a child to be sure that your kid is within the suggested age limits of particular language products. Keeping your child engaged in a lesson is as important as the lesson itself.
