Reviews for TeachMe! Cornish

Very Good
Cornish is a living language, and the pronunciation of the course sounds very close to that of the BBC speakers. (It was a bit discouraging to read in the course that the pronunciation of Cornish depends upon which period you are interested in, but we can easily forgive this.) It's a very good course, that really works. The only peculiar thing is that browse mode also awards points (I don't think it should) The editor should be commended for his commitment to minority languages.

Smooth sailing
I retired from an education advisory post and always found languages a hang-up, but I find TeachMe! smooth sailing and fun to use.

Rolls Royce of a product
My hobby is looking at languages and semantics. I must have about 30+ various language courses from Linguaphone to Teach Yourself and the Colloquial series. In 25 years I have never come across such a wonderful language learning tools as the TeachMe series. The programme is so simple to use and allows you to be in control. The addition of the CD with the course materials was a brilliant move. I have a 2 hour drive into work each day and it is an ideal time to listen to languages! Whoever, came up with the format is a winner. I hope that it will expand to include other languages inthe future. My family have groaned and moaned as I have told them next birthdays etc. will be TeachMe! CD Roms! Thanks for such a wonderful product!
