5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent English Teacher - 24 / 7, March 17, 2005

By 

Karl Thorsson (Reykjavík, Iceland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tell Me More English Version 6 (CD-ROM)

This is an excellent piece of software, HANDS DOWN, a fantastic way to learn with your computer. It guides you through a series of activities, excercises and games and DRILLS YOU, yes, DRILLS YOU and recognizes your weak points. It will then attack your weak points in every possible way until you get stronger and LEARN. This is all done in a fun way, with interesting and enlightening activities, and the program is actually quite sophisticated. It comes with VOICE RECOGNITION and ANALYZING features, this means that it actually detects problems in your pronunciation and helps you correct them. It works with you, tirelessly, because it is a machine... [a live human would have to take a break] Another amazing feature of this software is that you are able to use it and take your lessons at any time of the day. So if you are like my wife, you arrive from work at 6 or 7 PM, TIRED, and you decide to have dinner with your family, and then at 9 PM start a one hour lesson, be done with it by 10 or 11 PM and then get to bed... and.... if you can't sleep, LOL, [like my wife] you can decide to give it 30 more minutes at 3:00 AM until you get sleepy again, YOU CAN. You don't have to wake up your teacher, LOL [ME], just turn your computer back on and TELL ME MORE knows where you left off... THANK YOU TELL ME MORE :D This is a happy CUSTOMER RIGHT HERE. I can sleep, n my wife can improve her ENGLISH.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every single penny I paid for it!, February 15, 2007

This review is from: Tell Me More English Version 6 (CD-ROM)

I bought this product for my wife about 3 months ago. I tried to find as much information about the product as I could, but unfortunately there were not many reviews available on the internet. So I decided to give it a shot, and 3 months later I can truly say: it's one of the best purchases I've made. Just make sure to order some higher-quality headphones with noise-cancelling microphone since the ones that come included might not be as comfortable and reliable.

This software does not make any sense, there is not logic, it jumps from one thing to another, and definetly not for beginners, there is bunch of excercises thrown around but not any lesson or explanation. Additionally the software sometimes doesn't even work properly, takes you again to some of the excercises you have already completed. I bought this course for my nanny, who is a real beginner and she is completly lost, I have to help her to complete the lessons. I am for sure going to return this software, and hopefully my comment prevent you from waisting your money.
