 Not impressed - not for kids April 9, 2009
inoele (Nashville, TN USA)
One thing I did not like at all with this product is that when it teaches beverages, it focuses on beer and coffee (or wine). Why not teach juice or even soda? Anyways, in the introductory lessons you see adults at the bar and drinking beer and when they ask about drinking, it's "wine" or "beer" or "coffee". -- they should not advertise for 12 and up with so much reference to drinking alcohol.
Another thing is that it introduces a few phrases/words for vocabulary that are not common. For example: "scorcher" -- who says that?
Anyways, I do like the bird that teaches grammar -- he is entertaining, but he's only in the introductory lessons thus far, it seems.
I use this program to tutor an ESL student in English. I would tell someone else to NOT get it.
Obsoleted when it came out May 21, 2004

I see so many people who brought it in 2003 or 2004 say it's obsolete because they couldn't download the internet lessons. Guess what, I brought it directly from The Learning Company when it came out in 2002, and I couldn't download any of the internet lesson since the beginning. I called technical support, they told me the internet courses will be available later, since the product is very new at the time I brought it. I waited and waited, the internet courses never available. The CD is too basic, and it doesn't offer much. People should look else where for a better quality product than Learn to Speak English 8.1.
 Obsolete product - Do not buy it. May 19, 2004

I bought this product for my niece. This is for a beginner
who just start learning english. I can't access the Internet
Lessons category from the CDs because all the files are no
longer existed and can't get help from technical support
either since this is an obsolete product. Technical support
is terrible and such a waste of time - You are on your own
with your problem!

1. This is an obsolete product. ALL of the optional downloads expired 2 YEARS AGO!!! So, you'll have limited support.2. The on-line help, FAQ and Knowledge base are totally worthless. Don't even waste your time looking for help there. 3. Installation totally locks up a Windows 2000 system. My system was absolutely rock solid and stable until I installed this product. Installation totally locked up the system -- even the mouse didn't move. Be Ware! 4. There are no books or documentation of any kind with this product. If you want any help, you have to go to a web site or use the CDs. If the product kills your system as it did mine, you can't use either. There is no phone number for support. 5. Support is basically non-existant. If you can't figure out how to use the product or if something goes wrong or you get error messages, you are totally on your own to figure it out. If you're technically astute, you can eventually get the product to work but expect to spend many hours in the process. Once you get it working, it looks like an OK package but it wasn't an easy process here. Again, there is absolutely no where to go if you have a problem.
