Rating: - Tell me More Deluxe V3.0
I wish I could give this product a good review, but it would have to run on my computer in order for me to do that. If you have Vista beware. The customer service folks tried to help, but they finally gave up. I asked a few questions that would allow me to do it manually, but they ignored those and pointed me in totally worthless directions.
They finally offered me a refund, but I haven't taken them up on it yet. I was able to run on my office PC running XP. I copied the disk to a thumb ... Read More
Rating: - A terrible program - don't buy under any circumstance
First let me say that the reason I selected Tell Me More as my Mandarin language program was because of the good experience I've had with their German program. But this ... this is just a disaster. Unworkable, clunky, unhelpful. I've never thought of "Tell Me More" as a cry for help one might shout when running one of their programs, but that was my situation. I looked at this thing a hundred different ways, thinking I must be missing SOMETHING. Alas, it's just a poorly designed program unworthy ... Read More
Rating: - Lost like a blind man.
This is one of the worst products I've ever purchased. The first time I ran the software it gave me no instruction on what to do next. I fumbled around a clumsy user interface for about an hour. There were lists of words to say but it didn't tell me what they meant. Nor did it tell me why I was saying them or even how long I should say them. You would do just as well as purchasing a Chinese newspaper and attempt to read it for a while. At least the pictures would make more sense.
Rating: - putonghwa in Taiwan?
The desc is incorrect. Taiwan doesn't use the pinyin system nor simplified Chinese characters. Taiwan uses Traditional Chinese Characters and a pronunciation key of 36 sounds to create how Mandarin is spoken, which in my opinion are harder to learn but result in better pronounciation.
Please neglect my rating as I don't have this product and was looking for a ZhuYing FuHao product.
Rating: - where is the instruction?
I have to agree with the longest review here. About 18 months ago we bought this prior to our Asia trip. It was nearly incomprehensible before we left, and I convinced myself I was missing something or was impatient. After our return and several hours of "discovery" as described by others it was clear level 1 has no guided instruction to speak of.
We're going back to Asia, and I found myself today looking for a deal on Rosetta Stone or Fluenz. That's when I was reminded by that burning in ... Read More
