Good Quality, But Poor Pedagogy

Vocabulearn exploits the inexperience and ignorance of new language learners to promote the most ineffective language tool possible. Do not be deceived by the publisher's claims that it is a "favorite" tool, or that it is "fast, effective and fun." It is not. While it has value as a pronunciation drill aid, and the manual does show you the words and expressions both phonetically and in Arabic script, that is the extent of its usefulness. You will not learn a language, nor will you significantly increase your vocabulary, via the Vocabulearn tapes. By presenting the would-be language-learner with long lists of unrelated vocabulary completely devoid of any sort of context, the publisher insures that you can listen to Vocabulearn tapes, levels 1 & 2, regularly until the day you die, and you will never retain the material on a single one of the tapes. If you are serious about building language skills, do not put your trust in Vocabulearn.
