Tell me More Language Learning Software Review
January 22, 2010
This Language Learning Software Review is based on my own experience with the TeLL me More Language Software. I wrote this Review to give you an overview of the Tell me More Language Software.The installation of TeLL me More software is easy. It only took me about 2 minutes to finish the installation process. After installation, you can then remove the installation disk and insert one course CD (either beginner, intermediate, or advance CD) into your CD-ROM.
One of the nice features that TeLL me More offers is its use of speech recognition. The make the program highly interactive. The use of speech recognition help the learner interact with the program to learn correct pronunciation. (For you to use this feature, a headset/microphone combo comes with the package.)
The other nice feature is that, during most of the lessons, if you see a word that you do not understand, you can click on it to find out its translation and pronunciation.
The three study modes (Guided Mode, Free-to-Roam Mode, Dynamic Mode) are very effective in helping your language learning.
The software is running a little bit slow on my machine, sometimes when I clicked on something, it might take 5 seconds for the screen to be loaded completely. However, this in general does not annoy me during my use of the software. [Note: there is background noise (I mean music) when you run the software. The noise can be turned off if you want.]
The TeLL me More language software actually received numerous awards. See above for a few of them.
ToTenReviews gives the following remark to TeLL me More Spanish: “Overall, Tell Me More is the best option available for learning and retaining the Spanish language. If you want to go from beginner to expert, this is an excellent package value.”
