Hi Barry,

I bought it for my wife and children who were 5 and 9 at the time. My wife
was clueless at first but they have gone through the whole thing several
times. I didn't because I have 2 years of erasmian pronounciation Greek and
I thaought I would cause more problems than help. It came with home made CDs
and a picture book with simple home drawn cartoon pictures which served the
purpose. I remember at least two errors in the pictures: one was a pix of a
man eating meat and something else when the CD said he was eating an egg, I
forget what the other was. I have been helpful when there were a few
questions. Mostly to do with sudden changes in tense which results in a
radical change in the word. That may or may not have made the difference in
them continuing the class, I don't know. It would be nice if the words were
referenced to the pictures and footnotes included on radical morphologic
changes (thus phonetic changes). Otherwise my wife believes it was
profitable. I am going to get the next level eventually which looks like it
was perhaps more professionally finished.

In Christ,
Ross Purdy
