Thanks to all those who expressed interest in our EFL courseware by downloading the free versions.
Some of you asked if it wasn't possible to get this courseware with an American accent. Well, the standard versions of our three packages - English 4 Beginners, English 4 Students and English 4 Business - all speak the King's English. There is a good reason for this. We use Microsoft text-to-speech, and the British version, which features a female voice, just sounds nicer to the ears than the American version, which features a male voice. We don't know why this is, but it's a fact. If, however, some of you insist on getting the courseware with American accent, we will try to accommodate you. So our flagship, English 4 Students, can be now downloaded in Americanese. (Yankee Doodle has even replaced British Grenadiers as theme music.) B'H, we soon will have other the packages speaking American English too. The address for downloading is www.english4students.com/students-amer.exe. As previously announced here, the complete package is free to all Etnians. For your unlock code, e-mail me at lewisl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or call me at 02-5023617 or 050-6734414. For those of you who don't mind the British accent, the web address to download the regular version is still www.english4students.com . (One note of caution: If you have already installed the standard version and you want the American accent, you will have to uninstall British English. So go to your Control Panel, choose Add or Remove Programs, and then select Lernout and Hauspie British TTS engine.)
