200 Words a Day! Testimonials

Here are the words of some users of the 200 Words a Day! Excelerated Language Learning systems.

Dear Kevin

As far as feedback is concerned, I can honestly say that German I has exceeded my expectations.

I was expecting the humorous, creative pictures, but not the useful quizzes, audio recordings, and the other customizable options (like requiring that you type in the word to move on to the next one- very useful for spelling help!).

Using the program can be fun, but more importantly, it works!

I just got back from two weeks in Germany and found that I was able to easily remember words in conversation thanks to the program.

Thanks for the hard work in producing this program!

I have French course 1 and I think the system is absolutely superb.

It's the first time I've attempted to learn French since school, about 25 years ago.

On the initial test after each lesson, I typically achieve between 75 and 80%. It's quite scary how quickly you learn.

Mark Lloyd, UK.

I have bought more than a dozen CDs and materials for French and Italian. I have never seen a language product so addicting, effective and creatively very well done!

I even dream of the cartoons in my sleep!

Dear Kevin

Thank you so much. Your product works as promised.

I'm presently taking an intensive Spanish course that is three hours per day, four days a week. My goal is to have a working knowledge of Spanish in two months.

It's not easy and I don't seem to have an ear for languages.

Nonetheless, as you pointed out it can be done and with your program I'm making much better progress; moreover, I enjoy the routine.

Your program allows me to focus more on grammar [during class], whereas before I was spending all my time on vocabulary.

I'm now blasting through vocabulary.

As promised, your program focuses on the common words and for the most part corresponds to the vocabulary drills in our textbook.

There are four students in my intensive Spanish course.

I'm the only one in the class that never studied another language.

Each of my classmates already has a solid foundation in either Italian or French, and this of course makes me the weak link.

The point is that it's not a level playing field.

I found my classmates becoming impatient with me, which in turn made me flustered and exacerbated my poor performance.

Believe me that the stress is high with just four students and the instructor sitting at a small table doing drills in Spanish.

Thanks to your program I am now at ease in class and having fun.

I'm keeping up and dare say that my vocabulary will soon surpass that of my classmates.

No way it can't unless they get the same program, and there's no way I'm going to tell them about it until the last day of class.

I wish I had studied your program before starting this class so I could have hit the ground running.

Thanks again,

Dear Kevin and Exceltra,

Your 200 words a day German course is excellent. I would rate it the best vocabulary product that I have.

It is so much fun and the retention levels are absolutely fabulous even after a month of using.

I have set my personal pace at a lesson a day and I am almost through with the course since I got it, but I have no doubt that a die hard learner when sitting a full day in front of the program could easily finish the course in a week.

Hats off for an excellent product.

Your grammar hints and word usuge, which verb is used with which preposition etc are very helpful.

I am definitely looking forward to the second course of German vocabulary when it comes ...and the third. (please hurry up!).

Firstly I'd like to say that I ordered Spanish Course 1 a few months ago and it's brilliant. I work full time and have a young son so often I have to leave the course for a few days.

But when I return to it I can still recall all the words easily. It's the best language program I've used by far, and I have tried quite a few.

Darren, Newcastle, United Kingdom

I wanted to let you know my daughter,L. and I are having a great time with the course.

I did not think I was a "visual learner" at all but it is amazing how much those little cartoons help.

We keep saying "think of the picture" ! Really fun way to spend some time together (she's 16) and learn something. What a concept! Thanks so much, Great day to you ,

Dear Sir/Madam

My family purchased the ‘200 Words a Day’ edition of yours.

My wife, two children and myself have truly found it a great help, and it has worked for us much more so than the many other products we have tried.

Most enjoyable were the cartoon system and word associations.

Everything was quite clear, unlike several other products we had tried, but had failed for us.

It was amazing to see how much and how quickly our children actually remembered the words taught! It never occurred to them that they were learning.

And, of course we know learning is easier for young brains, however both my wife and myself found the system remarkably funny and hence, not a chore to-do’.

The children really enjoyed the tests at the end of the sections. They often did these together and requested to ‘play’ it instead of their usual computer games. What a plus!

I must admit I used the test solo for my private viewing only. I can only reiterate once again, many thanks!

Sincerely,

Paul Arshad, Lourquen, France.
Paul and his young family moved from the UK to France to live in 2003.

I wanted to thank you for getting the CD off to me so promptly.

Now that I've used the program for a few days, I also want to say it's a positively brilliant product. Based on what I read, I expected it to be good but I didn't realize how good. My only complaint: I wish you had a course for another 1000 German words!

H.B. Switzerland

The "101 French Proverbs" course is a great way to learn. It lets you step away from the usual tedious conversations about what-did-you-eat-for-breakfast-today, and really ponder some interesting human dillemmas. I look forward to even more!

How does the 200 Words a Day! method compare to any of those you've previously used?

I love the 200 Words a Day! method because I remember the words, the recall is incredible! I also like the idea that you learn how to spell the words as well, no other program gives me that. I like the other courses because they cover conversation, not just vocabulary building.

I have every intention to master this language and my enthusiasm is the result of the excellent presentation and format in which you have packaged the learning. It is obvious a great deal of thought, effort and understanding has been applied.

4. I chose 200 Words a Day Spanish because 'a picture paints a thousand words and this makes it easy to visualize the word and it certainly aids recollection. The use of male and female voices when saying the word definitely helps in remembering its gender.

Have you completed the course - if so, how long did it take and how many words did you learn?

Completed 41 lessons with a total vocabulary of 1,048 palabras in less than two months.!

I definitely didn't think I would be achieving 200 words a day. It seems far too many to remember , especially as a beginner to the language, but I am easily scoring 257 words a day on the Spanish.

When you started did you have any scepticism about achieving 200 words a day?

Some, but your method really works! Very impressed how easy it is to recall vocabulary. I also like the reviews (day after, week after, month after, etc.) That seems to really reinforce my memory recall.

When I prepared myself for starting to learn another language, I couldn't help but expect it to be difficult, not to mention boring. 200 Words A Day is surprisingly fun to use, and makes learning so much quicker.

Which pictures do you like best / worst?

They all seem to work well. And those that don't I make up my own, using the same guidelines that you use to create yours.

What features of the programme do you like or don't like?

I only use the kinesthetic option. I tried it with out having to type it in and it did not stick as well. I like the ability to change those options.

I found going over words I got wrong to be very helpful, and it was far easier to remember the difference between male and female words when there was a corresponding voice for each reading the word.

Are you keeping up-to-date with your revision/testing schedule?

Yes. My power was out for about three days and I got behind. It's fairly easy to keep up, even catch up.

Do you think the course is value for money?

Without question.
