I have several vocabulary series tapes and Princeton Review is by far the best. I have retained 99% of all the words reviewed and each of the three different series.

It teaches you over 200 new words that you can listen and learn. The dialog in the tape can be very annoying. I wish that the tape contains more word and less useless dialog. If you take out all the annoying dialogs in the tape, it will make 5-stars tape :)

If you want to learn as much new words as you can in a short period of time, try Verbal Advantage (ISBN 1559276193).

I have a limited vocabulary and wanted to improve it for the purpose of improving my chances of getting a job as a firefighter. I believe that if I listen and practice using the words that the tapes present, I will be a better candidate. In the lines of work I have previously been accustomed too, I have not heard many of the words used. I only can speculate that if I want to improve my communication skills get my desire accross to my interviewers, I will have to increase my vocabulary. I feel that Word Smart can help me with this..... Oh what's the word? Endever? Well, I still have some work to do.

Product is very user friendly. The two mentors make the experience fun and entertaining. Chock full of very useful words and verbage. A small price to pay for very empowering language. I will try to find Volume one to complete what I think is a very enriching tool.

I was a bit disappointed at first - I listened to the other CD set before this one But, more I listened to it , more interesting it became. Both voices are very seductive and full of subtle energy. I am not sure if the "guest speaker" are different or same guys, if they are same I have to admit they did a profound job. I loved the different accent and content of the story as well. I would really remember the words s well as the sentences from the speakers note.

Definitely highly recommended!

If you would like to increase your vocabulary, and be seduced at the same time, you really need to get this audio cassette collection. Now, don't get me wrong, this is not an overt seduction; it is just that I personally find Polly Segal's voice to be very attractive in a classy sort of way. If I were to name this program, I would call it WORD TITILLATION.
