Tell Me More French V10 Ten Levels Free Download

Review While this is one of the more expensive products on the DIY language market, it is surprisingly one of the worst. Tell Me More promises hours of video lessons, potentially thousands of exercises, and actually comes with a headset and microphone.

I have an acer aspire one D250 that came with windows 7. I removed the HD and used my desktop to format it (because windows seven wont let you downgrade to windows xp). Once formated I attached an external cdrom and (after re-installing the formated drive) booted the computer. Windows xp home edition walmart.

While this seems incredibly promising, it just doesn’t live up to the expectation by a long way, with confusing contents and poor voice recognition software making this one of the worst foreign language courses you can buy. Even if it were sold at half the price, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone really looking to learn a language fluently. Content There’s the standard DVD-Rom complete with ten levels of study. It’s quite nice to see this sort of course come a little bit more up to date, instead of opting for a multitude of CDs, but that is primarily the only thing in its favor. Tell Me More does offer something called a “Webpass”, which gives you access to a lot of online content instead of purchasing the DVD set. You would think that this would be a good investment, but you only have access for three months. This limited availability really cuts down on the value of it, making it even more of a rip-off.

On the DVD are all the usual picture and word games, flashcards, etc, along with some slightly more innovative technology. I’m not denying that this is an impressive selection of software, but the nagging problem is that you just don’t feel like any of them are helping very much. The lack of focus to learning is very problematic, and the ability to learn a language “on the go” via various pieces of compatible technology, while being very impressive, just does not help you learn. On the plus side, you can create your own audio files with whatever you want to be learning at the time, which is an incredibly useful aspect of learning, but not one that isn’t offered by most other courses. There is a fair amount of material here, but then again, for the price you would definitely expect it. The transcript booklet also has lists of grammar and vocabulary, which is invaluable for this sort of learning.

Although in certain cases, when listening to the DVD, it would be literally impossible to follow without the booklet and even with the booklet it’s pretty difficult. Essentially, what is here is a strong mix of multimedia technology that should help you to learn a language, but unfortunately due to poor planning of the lessons, very much doesn’t. Usability There is a terrible trend among foreign language course to mistake an immersive interactive environment with one of total confusion. Plunging into the deep end with language is not how one learns in a classroom and it is certainly not how one learns when one is travelling or living in a foreign city. It makes very little sense for this to be the way that programs offer their courses at home, and the only reason I can see for it is laziness. A genuinely immersive environment doesn’t leave the learner feeling frustrated, but opens a language up to them in a more realistic and genuine way. Simply not marking lessons properly, or mixing up skill sets so that you don’t know how far you’ve progressed or if you’re really progressing at all, is not an immersive environment, it’s just useless.

Tell Me More is very guilty of this. There are apparently ten levels of learning, but these don’t seem to be in much of an ability order. Instead of sequentially progressing through lessons, not only is this course presented in a very jumbled manner, but it is targeted at mixed abilities as well.

An example of how frustrating this can be is found in the vocabulary tutoring. When you study a new section, new vocabulary is also given to you.

This should prepare you for the section that is to come, but when you actually start to learn that section, there are words that have not been mentioned at all. It clearly assumes that the learner has prior knowledge of certain words, which is frankly infuriating for a course like this.
