Horrible Mispronunciation

The reader of this book clearly did not read a pronunciation guide for the words that she did not know. The words with French roots are not even attempted and some of the easiest words are mispronounced. Some examples include Bowler as Bowel-er and Barrage is pronounced Bare-Age. I'm really disappointed. I was hoping that I could play this during my commute from work, but I cannot stomach it. Save your money/credits and look elsewhere!

The mispronounced words abound

I found myself deciphering the correct word from the definition as MANY words are not pronounced correctly. Words that end in D are pronounced with a hard "t" sound. The emphasis on syllables is "off" on words as well.

After the 3rd chapter I focused on how often the words were not said correctly versus new vocabulary.

There should have been more emphasis on pronouncing words using the widely used/accepted and alternatively as it is in the book.

Bad Audio

Recording isn't great quality. There are lots of mispronunciations.
Gets the job done though. It seems to help me learn some new words.

List of Words ONLY- SO MANY MISPRONOUNCED

There is nothing ground breaking or helpful about this "book" as it would be just as easy and FREE to look up a definition list for most used vocabulary words on the GRE. The entirety of this "book" is only a long list of words, seemingly recited by someone in a very echoey room, and she mispronounces so many of them Ia questioning the definitions of words I have not heard. I thought there would be some sort of exercises as part of this but I waa wrong. Unless you REALLY need to listen to words I would find another study tool.

lots of words, but could be better

Would've been better if she spelled out the words and gave examples for each word. should also have given better examples with the words that she did give examples for.

Just an oral Dictionary

This audio book has no testing skills or techniques or even example questions. It’s literally a lady reading the dictionary.
I’m a single mom with 8 kids. I wanted something to listen to in the shower or while doing yard work, etc.
rapid succession vocabulary is not effective.

Good way to passively study

I appreciate that I can listen to this on the way to and from work, but the narrator pronounces things incorrectly SO FREQUENTLY and it sort of drives me insane. You can still understand what word she is referring to so it’s not that big of a deal, it’s just driving me a little insane. Overall very helpful!

Being a non-native English speaker

Being a non-native English speaker, most books on the topic were difficult to understand and to implement. But, this one is really for people like me. Simple yet sophisticated at the same time. I am so happy with the purchase!

The go to guide for english vocabulary,

The go to guide for english vocabulary, spellings and pronunciation in my honest opinion. Everything you need is explained in plain simple english.

Very simple and effective ways

Very simple and effective ways to break down and recall/memorize complicated vocabulary. Makes learning way more creative and fun!
