Thanks for the replies, RobinMask & Rinai! Not so much the pointless reply of that fat bloke.

Yeah, it was definitely the first lesson of the entire course that I tried.

But after further searching, I found some reviews, where people mentioned the same things. But I guess I'll stick to it for a while. The main issue is, as I say, just trying to figure out what the picture is trying to tell me, like, am I looking at how many people are in the picture, male of female, or the activity they're doing?

"This has some obvious drawbacks, such as it not always being clear what the pictures are trying to show. You can be looking at a picture of a red ball for ages, and not realize that what you’re supposed to be focusing on are the children, or the kind of game that they’re playing. A simple solution to this is to have a dictionary with you while you are learning, so you can run through the possible answers, but for the amount you’re paying for this course, it’s the sort of thing you really shouldn’t have to do. Grammar lesson There are no explanations for the pictures themselves, and no external information that helps you to understand any of the potentially more complex grammar aspects of learning a language.

Still, overall, the pace of the lessons is excellent, with a lot of re-capping previous points and making sure that you understand the right lessons that have been taught.

So I guess I'll stick to it for a while, things will probably start to make more sense eventually.
