2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to believe, November 24, 2008

By	Jaaboston "jaaboston" (Des Moines, Iowa) - See all my reviews

Sorry guys, but I have been using the demo and it is hard to believe most of the reviews I am reading here. Clearly, they were not written by ESL students and they seem very professional and with a lot of info about the software (looks like written by the developers). I find the inter phase to be crowded and difficult to follow. This software is not intuitive at all and it is hard to follow any logical sequence of learning. Anyway, download the demo and try for yourself.

Waoo!!!!, it is an amazing software for anyone who has encountered problem with speaking and listening English language.
like thousand of peaple who tried to learn English i bought all kind of the software availble on the market during the last few years . and each time i get the same problem. i have a good understanding when i read English but i had an absolute problem with the listening and speaking. until i discover this famous software.
I start using it only 23 days, and the result are really very impressive.I notice a big improvement in my expression- I m more confident when speaking , now i m sure that people understand my message- also, my listening has been improved immensely.
my english improvement was noticed also by my coworkers.

Thanks to this software, i understand for the first time that the Biggest problem with the English language is that is a phonetic language , where we have to learn the different sounds. and this software bring the appropriate solution to this problem.
this software is really richest mine of new and innovative tools, it allow the user to focus on the specific sounds that cause him problem , you can also create your own list of the words that cause you problem and you can practice them until you feel better. it allow also to learn new vocabulary. really , i m very satisfied with this software the highest quality of their service.

I recommend Pronunciation pattern strongly to anyone who has problem with the English language. Just try it and you will see the difference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, June 24, 2007

By	Viet - See all my reviews

I'm Vietnamese student. Pronunciation Patterns is very good one as follows:
1/ Clearly sound and easy to repeat.
2/ There are thousands of new words to learn.
3/ program is very good at automaticly repeating, recording and replaying
4/ Customer service is very kindness and willingness.Excellent!

Some points that the author needs to improve:

1/ Some words do not match with the sounds
2/ Lack of some dipthong souds
3/ Diagram is not very perfect. It means that it's very difficult to realize what s student need to improve after recording his or her voice.
4/ In CD, the authour should only use the words that you already set up in your program. I saw some words in the screen, but in fact they are not in the program so it makes customer unsatisfied.
5/ I do not like to use CD to much, because it may harm CD driver; Why don't you think about the way to copy it into only one computer and open it without CD?
6/The price is too high for a student.

Anyway, it is 4/5
Hope you enjoy it.
