Instant Immersion - English - ESL (4 CD-ROM)

This four-CD-ROM set is designed to cover every aspect of learning English as a foreign language, including grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. There are carefully designed lessons, and extensive multimedia resources to keep the student engaged. The first two discs in the package offer beginning and advanced lessons, respectively, and feature detailed quizzes to let the student know exactly how well she or he is progressing, and record progress. Disc three is a detailed guide to pronunciation with all 52 English-speaking sounds isolated for accurate listening and repetition. It features displays of the necessary mouth movements, and detailed descriptions on how to move the mouth and adjust air flow. You can record and compare your pronunciation with the instructor's. The final disc is an eight-in-one English Dictionary that allows you to search for words by using five different methods: alphabet, sound, test, theme, or all words. It also allows you to listen to the word pronounced, and to record and play back your recording of the word. With over 7,000 words, 1,700 pictures, and 3,300 sample sentences for each root word, the program also provides translation of words and instructions in 12 languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
