Customer Reviews

Boring, boring, boring...
I thought this tape would have some real situations with real people, but the only thing it has is an english teacher talking about some business scenarios. I got bored after 10 minutes of video. I wish I could have my money back.

zzzzzz...not for students with any frontal lobe activity!
Very disappointing. The level of explanation is far too demanding for the student target level. I was hoping to use this in my class to supplement a textbook I am using (in a Japanese university), but I just don`t see any possible way students would get any positive learning from this video (and teaching in Japan for eight years, I`ve had to learn to be resourceful!!)@Definitely not worth the money paid.

This really is a great product.
It's not very exciting, but I learned a lot. My English is getting much better, and I credit this video with this improvement. It helps me in business meetings and when I have to talk to my boss. I found it very easy to comprehend, and I still watch ocasionally to learn things I forgot. I would recommend it to anyone who needs help in speaking and understanding English at work.
