Rating: - Obsoleted when it came out
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.
Rating: - Obsolete product - Do not buy it.
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!
Rating: - A Word to the Wise
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.

Nuestra empresa CIUDAD COTILLON de Lavalle 2257, Capital Federal (Buenos Aires) Argentina, dedicada al Cotillon, Reposteria y Navidad, le entrego a su personal un curso basado en este programa, el cual ha sido excepcional.
Rating: - What more do you want for 20 bucks !
Well, I bought 3 of these for my nephews in South America. You know what? The kids are eating them up! It's a pretty decent CD Rom set. There's voice recognition technology (you'll need a headset)which lets you talk to the computer using simulated conversations.It's got like 200 lessons and loads of exercises for all levels. There's even a placement test at the beginning. Not bad for 20 bucks...Caveat : Program tends to crash every now and then.
