Summary: A Word to the Wise
Review: 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.

Summary: Does not run on Windows XP, no shipping outside the US
Review: For one of the two reasons above this software will not serve most people. Since XP is the latest OS and most ELS students are abroad, these are major weaknesses. Look elsewhere. Don't trust a product that fails on the basics. Even if you don't have XP and do not live abroad.

Summary: Obsolete product - Do not buy it.
Review: 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!

Summary: When can this item be shipped worldwide?
Review: I felt like this item. As an Asian I am trying to speak English with correct pronunciation. But I just found it can be shipped only within USA! It's really bad news.
So it will be very helpful to me if you could ship it worldwide.
Please let me know if it is possible to ship it to Hong Kong.

Summary: Obsoleted when it came out
Review: 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.

Summary: Don't buy this for Windows XP
Review: I was very excited when I purchased this software package for my wife - as was she - since we had heard such good things about it. But there is a bug that crashes the program on Windows XP. When we called tech support, we were told that this is a "known problem". Unfortunately, there is no fix for it yet. So we are stuck with a program that we cannot return.

Summary: Shipping outside US
Review: I would like to buy the learning english package with 4 CDs but I cannot because you will not ship outside the US. So how else can we access anything if your sales have restriction on boundaries!
Please advise ASAP I am currently in Zambia and have the ability to pay for the product.

Summary: I like it! ;)
Review: I'm not a native english's speaker, but as person who has to speak, I've tried different methods and softwares. So, I like this software, very good design, nice english pronunciation in lessons, original graphics and many more additional features, like prononciation recognition :) it totally very funny, of corse it is not a 100% recognition, but very nicely whith pronunciation monitor :). At begin you take test and program will advice you which part is for you (Basic, Advanced etc.).

Software on 4 CDs comes with the book. I like it, and I think it is really good price for very good product.
