Quick Take
Choosing between these four language courses starts with a practical question: which language will you actually use first? All four are brand-new FSI courses listed at USD 10.95, so the price is not the differentiator. The real choices are the language, the disk format, and the level each listing presents. If you already know which language you need, the format and level should settle the rest. If you are torn, the speaker counts for each language can help you decide.

Product Notes
Learn How To Speak Japanese, Fast Foreign Language Training Course, CD E03
Japanese is spoken by about 125 million people, primarily in Japan, so this course is a direct match if your goal is Japanese. The listing includes a CD-ROM format, and the level is listed as Beginner (A1) and Business. The concrete limitation is the medium: a CD-reading setup is what this course assumes. If you are ready to start building a working foundation in Japanese, the language focus and beginner-to-business placement give you a clear path.
Learn How To Speak Hebrew, Fast & Easy Foreign Language Training Course, CD D98
Hebrew is a West Semitic language of the Afroasiatic family, and this course is centered on Hebrew specifically. It is listed as Brand New, and the level is Beginner (A1) and Business. The limitation is the format: this is a CD-ROM, so a CD-capable device is the setup to plan around. For a learner who wants to begin Hebrew with a new disk and a beginner-to-business study level, this title keeps the scope straightforward.
Learn How To Speak Chinese, Fast Foreign Language Training Course, DVD D89
Nearly 1.2 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language, so this course offers a language with a very large speaker base. It is presented as a DVD, and the listed level is Beginner (A1) and Business. The trade-off is the format: a DVD-capable player is the concrete requirement for using it. If Chinese is the language you want to start, the broad speaker context and clear beginner-to-business level make it a useful choice.
Learn How To Speak Spanish, Fast Foreign Language Training Course, DVD E16
Spanish is a Romance language that originated in the Castile region and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. That international reach is a strong reason to choose this DVD course. The listed level is Beginner (A1), so it is positioned as a starting point for Spanish. The limitation is the disc type: this is a DVD, so your playback setup needs to handle that format. For a beginning Spanish learner, the language's wide official use gives it practical appeal.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If your next trip or job is in Japan, choose the Japanese CD course. If Hebrew is the language you need, the Hebrew CD is the one that matches. For a language with an enormous global speaker base, the Chinese DVD stands out. For a Romance language with UN official status, the Spanish DVD is the more suitable pick. The decision should rest on which language you will use and which disk format your study setup supports.
