Special Features

Oral Exercises:
An oral exercise will follow each lesson. You will experience two different voices to give you variety. These exercises review the various characteristics of the sound(s) studied. The examples are clear and presented in different contexts to give you ample illustrations. We enunciate slowly to give you time to hear and absorb each sound and word. You can then re-play as many times as needed for you to feel comfortable reproducing the sound(s) yourself. The program includes a translation section to help you understand the words/sentences presented as well as to assist you in building your vocabulary.
