 The best software out there! February 13, 2007

It was a semester before I went on a study abroad to France when I first heard of this software; my French professor asked for volunteers to participate in a research of it. I joined immediately knowing that I only have few months to excel my skills before I go on a 6 month journey to France.I was amazed with this software from day one! It helped me a lot with pronunciation, vocabulary, and even confidence of speaking French; I guess talking out loud (to a machine) helps with adjusting yourself to speaking it overall. Now, I decided to buy it for myself, so I can not only practice what I have learned, but also work on becoming fluent, hopefully.
 Good product once you get the right patches January 4, 2007

I read the other reviews before my purchase and encountered the same problem with freezing. I contacted tech support and got the necessary fixes and now it works fine (except for the dictation excercise). It's a very thorough program. I'm finding it works well for me. The negative thing was that it took me a long time and a lot of persistence to get what I needed from tech support. I recommend using the help facility built into the program - it will give you the email for the support in France. The emails I sent to the email for US support were never answered.
Great software, recommended by my teacher August 8, 2006

I attend Rice University and take French classes there. We use TeLL me More during our classes and I though it would be much better for me to get my own copy, so I can also use it after class and progress faster. The activities are really engaging and you can really progress in French, and not be bored. My teacher put a lot of emphasis on the pronunciation part, as this software really helps you improve it
I also like the cultural workshop so I can learn French history, geography,..., before going to Paris next year.
I am not sure about the other reviews, as I had no technical problem whatsoever with that program and I actually have a 3 year old computer. Also, no problem at my school.

I'm having the same problem described by other users: the program freezes during the pronuncation exercises, necessitating a reboot. This happens repeatedly, rendering the speech recognition feature of the software essentially unusable. In addition to this specific problem, the software is agonizingly slow when switching between lessons, and even between different portions of the same lesson. My computer is above the specs recommended by the manufacturer, so the problems appear to be due to poor programming. Bottom line: stay away from this product until it has been properly debugged.
Would be good if it ran without freezing constantly July 3, 2006

This is a pretty good language course, as far as content goes, but it has one major problem - it freezes constantly.
In the last hour that I've been using it, the program has frozen around a dozen times (not just temporarily, but permanently, requiring the program to be restarted). Always when it gets to the pronunciation exercises. Sometimes within seconds of restarting after the last freeze. Now presumably this doesn't happen on all computers, but I have a pretty good laptop (1.7GHz Pentium/512MB RAM, well above the recommended system requirements) and it's basically unusable (unless you avoid the speech exercises completely).
When I pay this much for something I expect it to at least work properly.
