TeLL me More German Premium - Complete Beginner, Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced

TeLL me More German Premium - Complete Beginner, Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced
This is by far the best German language software on the market today. I had been attending German classes through Berlitz but due to time and monetary constraints, I had to pursue other alternatives. I reviewed both the Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur software but found them lacking for my needs. I wanted the ability to go beyond the basics. I searched the internet for independent reviews of German language software and encountered http://learn-german-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ which was extremely helpful in evaluating various language programs.

I was amazed at how interactive this software was. Unlike earlier programs that relied on my ability to mimic the native speaker (with hopes that I accurately repeated what was being said), this software allows me to record and play back my responses; in addition the program evaluates how closely I emulate the speaker.

Vocabulary, grammar, writing, reading, crossword puzzles, and online testing are just a few of the many features this program has to offer. I can chose among three separate modes: I can select the activities; the software selects the activities based on my learning objectives, or the software selects and modifies the activities based on my progress.
