Guide Review - English Learning Software - Review of TeLL me More® Premium
This package, while expensive, provides everything you need to learn English. The program goes from beginner to advanced level and has over 850 hours of learning content. TeLL me More® Premium takes a theme based approach to English learning. The "Lesson Workshop" makes up the core of each lesson and introduces through a question and answer dialogue. This makes up what I like best: the speech recognition is outstanding. After each question is asked, the student responds choosing a displayed option. This phrase is recognized and takes the discussion onto the next question. By responding in different manners, the student can practice a wide variety of appropriate responses and each conversation is different.
