3.0 out of 5 stars Not so good for Beginners., April 9, 2005

This review is from: Learn To Speak English Version 8.1 (CD-ROM)

This software is not for individuals in the beginning level.
The Speech Recognition has much to be desire. I have tried with
native americans and never reach the native level even in the
easy level. This is very frustrating for the individuals who
are trying to learn a new language. Also with this software is
impossible to reach the Internet. I think Instant Immersion English is superior to this one.

This review is from: Learn To Speak English Version 8.1 (CD-ROM)

2 years ago I found a new job as account manager closing deals over the phone, and all of my customers where english native speakers. Let me tell you that I was able to do my job and no one of my customers presented a claim about my English skills.

I used a lot the pronunciation module. I repeated every word until I mastered. It required discipline. Results depend on your self.
