If your looking for annoying software with lots of glitches . . . then this is the one for you! My 3 yr. old daughter likes it, but would get very frustrated when she would repeatedly say words correctly into the microphone and the response was that she didn't get it right. Also, there are a lot of errors. One example is a page that has upper and lower case letters paired together. Two of the lowercase letters are wrong and do not match the uppercase. I would recommend avoiding this software, as well as most of the jumpstart products out there. There is much better software for kiddos. Just shop around on this website and check out the parent commentaries.

Game using voice recognition and correction of pronunciation are very helpful for many foreign kids including adults. It gives pleasure and educational effects at the same time. Today There are lots of native speaker teachers everywhere. but Everyone cannot have opportunity to learn english from them and also decicde their english is good or not. That is why this will be the best english teacher for foreign kids.
