User Reviews

• Some good features, weak on grammar and spelling

  Pros

  The program comes with its own audio and word lists

  Cons

  The testing seemed random, with no attempt to monitor the user's specific areas of difficulty. The words lists were also short, so there was no sense of building up a large vocabulary. The onus is on the user to return to lists that need revision.

  Summary

  This is very a basic language program that presents short lists of words to the user by a range of testing modes, including: flash-card mode, audio recognition leading to multiple choice, some games (like pacman), but no grammar and no learning supervision. A big hole in the features was the apparent lack of any testing of spelling. You don't get to write any answers, just click on items multi-choice style. The program lacks any facility for teaching grammar, but that does not seem to be its purpose,
