This CD will be just one of my vocabulary teaching tools as a home schooling mom. I don't know if my kids would have sat and listened to it, if we had not been on a long drive in the car. The stories are corney and remind me of an old radio program, definitely not the typical entertainment today's kids and teens are used to. My kids laughed at the stories, though, and recognized some of the words from their vocabulary books.

Imagine hearing the most obnoxious and annoying sound each time a new word is introduced. Gets old fast right? That's exactly what this program does. I can see how this might get people to memorize words and their useage, but for me it was incredibly unlistenable. I bought it to listen to in my car for my commute to and from work, and liked the idea that it introduced new words through storytelling. However, the stories were all corny and I knew what more than half the words meant. To sum it up:

Do not by if you do not like the idea of obnoxoius sounds cued at every word,

Do not buy if you consider yourself to have moderate vocabulary...This item is very elementary.

This is great when you go jogging. If you want to learn not just listin to music.
I use it for my gym exercises to make the time go by quicker.Be set to replay couple of time before you pick up the words.

I bought this to study for the GRE and it was not helpful at all. The stories are nothing like I expected, and hard to pay attention to because they are very cheesy.

I did give it to my middle school level sister so she can start to build her vocabulary and she seems to be using it just fine.

The storys make me lagh so much, but the more meticulous explanation about the vocaburary would make this more wonderful.
