The worse book ever

Don't even think about buying this book. I have wasted my time with it. There is no CD 2 and the activities always ask for it. And even worse, you can't return it because there is a return restriction for college, audio books, or any book with a CD-ROM. You will feel really disappointed with these editors.

This software is the best tool to improve your English

I have used this software for more than two years. It's been very useful and benefited me in studying English.
I use this software almost everyday. If without it I feel it is inconvenient for me to studying English.
English is my second language. There are a lots of new words which I don't understand and can't pronounce them, and also there are many many words which I understand but can't pronnouce them correctly or influently.Since I used this software, I found out my pronunciation have been significantly improved.
I think the best features for this software is that the pronounciation of the words I look for can be sequentially stored and automatically connected to [...]. I can easily understand the meanings of words and their application. I often repeatedly pronouce them and make them instill my mind. Of course, I can pronouce them naturally without thinking. I think I'm lucky to find this software after trying other programs.
Also, I think the service from this software company has been excellent. They always quickly respond and offer
right solution for your studying. I can count on them. I hope I have become the long-term membership.
I post my review about this software today after two-years use because I didn't want to make a rush conclusion for this program. Time always test the results of everything. I should recommend this software to the people who are looking for the similiar programs.

*** Awesome Product ***

First I would like to convey special thanks to Mr. Wang for his unique pronunciation software.

After using the demo for only 20-30 minutes a day, I had to have the full version. It offers everything you need to improve your pronunciation with thousands of useful words and examples. The Pronunciation Patterns greatly helped me in improving my English pronunciation, it is much better than using accent books (and Audio Cds) because one can play and replay the stuff with just one click. There are many more advantages of having it like: creating your own playlist, integrated browser which allows you to get information from "Answers.com", "VOA News" etc, mouth video clips as opposed to pics, text to speech, and other interesting features.

This program is a must have for anyone who need to learn or improve their ** pronunciation **, reading, and spelling. The cost is little on the higher side, but no doubts its worth buying.

I really love this product, it is exactly what I have been looking for.

Great interactive software - the best way to learn accurate pronunciation

I've tried many audio books, CDs, and even taking classes in order to get rid of my French accent. This program is definitely the best so far. Well worth the investment (much cheaper than taking a class) and you can go back to it over and over again. Personally I think the best way to use it is to study 30 minutes a day. There are so many words for each sound that it takes a while to master a sound. One of the best features is that you can save words for review later. So you narrow down your list of words to the ones that you want to practice in particular. Another great feature is to see the IPA pronunciation next to the word you are listening to. It really helps understand how the words should be pronounced. I love the on-line dictionary linked to [...]. It allows you to learn so many new words by just the click of a button. There are so many features that it takes a while to master them all. You need to spend 1-2 days to understand how the software works. If you don't take the time to learn, you can become easily frustrated. The only drawback is that there are quite a lot of bugs in particular when you need to download an update. Just be patient. The creator of the software is very reponsive and helpful in helping you redownload the software. I highly recomment this product. But again, practice is the key!
