Especially Spanish speakers like it, beacuse they understand for the first time the differences in vowel sounds.It is very easy to use. Students come in and use it on their own, but they prefer using it with their tutor.I think it costs around $100, we bought it from the LVA Catalog.Unfortunately there are no practice exercises, just explanations. Some of the other basic reading sofware we have doesn't work as well with ESL students, because they don't understand the vocabulary.
