Vocabularly Building Skills - Beginning Level3
I liked the way the authors say, define, and spell the words, however I was disappointed on the level of vocabularly used for this series. I was hoping to build a more sophisticated vocabularly, but I found that the words on these CDs are at a basic level: everyday words I already knew and use. I would recommend these CDs for high school seniors or freshman college level students who are beginning to learn about the mastery of using words. Maybe not for the more advanced student, professional or executive looking to build a spohisticate, powerful vocabulary

Great language expansion tool5
English is my second language. I was looking for an advanced course for a long time, particularly the audio course, to transfer the idle commuting time and low-absorbing job tasks into my own university in motion.
This one is perfect - the best one I found so far. The words are spelled, which is a tremendous help for a visually-oriented person like me. Some other courses (i.e."Verbal Success") don't spell words. The only downside is the awkward and outdated format. It takes approximately one evening to convert the CDs into MP3s, rename the tracks so they are played in a proper sequence, and copy on one's Ipod. The whole course takes total 142MB space at 32kbps bitrate, which produces acceptable voice quality. There is a free CD to MP3 converter available for download online.
Even, though I was already familiar with many words presented in this course, it helps to acquire proper accent by listening. It's money well spent. I used to pay the professional accent teacher $50 per hour.
I hope the authors will issue the next volumes with more vocabulary. I very much look forward to it.

Basic level ?!?!?!? No way !!!!5
I'm not gonna repeat the good points about this CD but about the 'level' of English; it's top English. Some reviewers called it basic !?! Did they listen to it at all ?!?!

The WORD MASTER level is just below VERBAL ADVANTAGE in my view. While I consider VERBAL ADVANTAGE swanky, WORD MASTER is already on a high level in the spoken English.
