There are 24 scientifically developed interactive lessons, each with 3 easy steps: Listen to the model - just point and click on an individual word or an entire sentence to hear the correct pronunciation. Watch the way the model moves their mouth as they pronounce the word. Repeat - the program will record you saying the same word or sentence. Play back and hear your own pronunciation compared to the model's, and save your recordings so that you can hear the difference over a short time. It's easy to hear your progress!
