English is the language most often used in international business and by professionals around the world—speaking, reading and writing it fluently will advance your career and open doors of opportunity. Tell me More Premium provides classroom quality instruction in the privacy of your home or office and is the “TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award” ESL software.
This software begins with the fundamentals of English, simple vocabulary and grammar, as a base. Then progressively builds your ESL skills with reading, writing, listening comprehension, pronunciation and phonetics and even cultural aspects of English speaking countries. Choose from the guided program or create your own and focus solely on those areas where you need help.
Regardless of whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced student, Tell me More Premium has the features that will improve your English skills. The software combines state–of–the–art technology like speech recognition and digital imaging with proven methods like repetition and the use of visual, audio and participation teaching techniques.
During the dialog exercise, you participate in a mock conversation with the computer. For example, the computer may say, “Good morning, how are you?” You can reply, “I am fine, and you?’ The conversation continues and if you aren’t sure about your pronunciation, the program will create a wavelength of a native speaker’s voice and then have you say the word or phrase. You are able to compare wavelengths and make the necessary adjustments.
Some of the vocabulary building exercises include picture/word association, fill in the blank, word association and fun games like crossword puzzles, word searches and a version of hangman.
Tell me More Premium intertwines the fundamentals of English to create a strong teaching system. The program associates listening to reading and writing. For example, it may have you listen to a word and first recognize it and then later write it.
The software has a number of grammar practices and includes a Grammar Explanations and Conjugation Tool in the Reference Tools section. Here you will find the alphabet, cardinal numbers, subject pronouns, verb conjugations and more.
Tell me More Premium offers instruction in a variety of languages including German, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. Simply click your native tongue and instantly all of the instructions and translations are in your language.
We found the program simple to navigate with well–labeled buttons and forward and back buttons. Each time you choose an activity a brief description, tutorial and instructions appear. After you become accustomed to Tell me More, you can choose not to view the instructions.
