5.0 out of 5 stars Basic level ?!?!?!? No way !!!!, February 18, 2009

I'm not gonna repeat the good points about this CD but about the 'level' of English; it's top English. Some reviewers called it basic !?! Did they listen to it at all ?!?!

The WORD MASTER level is just below VERBAL ADVANTAGE in my view. While I consider VERBAL ADVANTAGE swanky, WORD MASTER is already on a high level in the spoken English.

Decide for yourself. Some vocabulary examples from WORD MASTER;

FLAGRANT; JOSTILE; CULPABLE; FLUCIDATE; AFFINITY; ASPIRE; PICAYUNE; SCATHING; DRIVEL; IMPETUS; LATENT; VISTA; WANE; ATONE; APOGEE; ARDENT; CAPRICE; EFFECTUAL; VAGRANT; ABASE; ENIGMA; OVERT; PLUNDER; ORDEAL; HOVEL; HENCHMAN; INCUMBENT; MANIFEST; SUPTUOUS; REPROVE; FURTIVE; VERTIGO

5.0 out of 5 stars This Kit Really Works, October 2, 2007

I cannot recommend this vocabulary building kit enough. Many many words can be found here. There are 9 cd's. As you go from cd to cd the words increase in difficulty, but it's up to you if you prefer to skip ahead of course. Personally I listened to each cd as a refresher. I was particularly impressed at the techniques used to help the words be retained. The light music. The transitions. This is a quality product. Word Master doesn't just throw words at you. The words are given in a systematic order to aid in your retention. There's a female and a male voice to give the words variety and be more memorable. I loaded the cd's on my flashplayer for a month and listened during my commute to and from work. With a pad and pen I jotted down the words for extra retention power.

Be prepared to listen to these cd's several times over. This pack was surely worth my money. A wise investment in my speaking, writing, business career or anyone who wants to amp up their potential.

English is my second language. I was looking for an advanced course for a long time, particularly the audio course, to transfer the idle commuting time and low-absorbing job tasks into my own university in motion.
This one is perfect - the best one I found so far. The words are spelled, which is a tremendous help for a visually-oriented person like me. Some other courses (i.e."Verbal Success") don't spell words. The only downside is the awkward and outdated format. It takes approximately one evening to convert the CDs into MP3s, rename the tracks so they are played in a proper sequence, and copy on one's Ipod. The whole course takes total 142MB space at 32kbps bitrate, which produces acceptable voice quality. There is a free CD to MP3 converter available for download online.
Even, though I was already familiar with many words presented in this course, it helps to acquire proper accent by listening. It's money well spent. I used to pay the professional accent teacher $50 per hour.
I hope the authors will issue the next volumes with more vocabulary. I very much look forward to it.
