Features Set:
Whether you’re an audible learner, a visual learner or you learn by doing, this ESL suite caters to your needs. The professional looking interface houses a number of learning tools including a glossary, grammar explanations and an oral workshop.
The oral workshop is one of the most impressive features of Tell me More. Here you can participate in spoken exercises like word pronunciation, sentence pronunciation and phonetics exercises.
In each of these activities, a native English speaker says the word and the software records a wavelength. Then you say the word and the software creates a wavelength for your pronunciation. You are able to compare wavelengths and make the necessary adjustments to improve your pronunciation.
Fundamentals:
Tell me More Intelligent Solution covers all of the fundamentals that English as a second language software should. The program covers language basics: reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar.
The suite also teaches some more advanced aspects of the language like conversation, speech recognition, listening comprehension and even some cultural aspects.
Ease of Use:
Each time you enter a new activity, Tell me More Intelligent Solutions will prompt you to view a tutorial. This makes the software easy to learn. Overall, the program is simple to navigate with well–labeled buttons.

Keep in mind, the software will only be as effective as the user. With hard work, dedication and the help of ESL software, you can master the English language.
