Wordbuilders Volume 5

By: Audio University

Narrated by: Audio University

Wordbuilders: The convenient and entertaining way to build a more powerful vocabulary. Each 60-minute entry in the series features 40 words used in everyday conversation, or in the media and books, but which many people skip, finding them difficult or even impossible to define or pronounce accurately.

Using highly effective mnemonic devices captivating dramatized vignettes and a variety of exercises to aid retention each Wordbuilders program teaches you how to pronounce define and use a new selection of common, but hard-to-use words. Each tape package includes a wallet-sized card bearing the words, their definitions, and the pronunciation key to quick, easy reference anytime, anywhere.

The Wordbuilders tapes are great for business people, students, public speakers, and word lovers everywhere. They’ll help you build the confidence that comes with real word power whether in business in school or in daily conversation.© and (P)1989 Audio University, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House, Inc.

Great Reinforcement, Outdated Style

Ths program has bad audio quality just as the previous review stated. The stories used to reinforce the words are a little hokey and I feel like a small child being spoken to by an overenthusiastic adult. However, the words and repetition used for reinforcement make this program worth the time. I have learned and retained words I previously hadn't heard. If you want to update your vocabulary or prepare for a test (I'm preparing for the MAT), then this is worth the listen.

Simply the best program around!

The whole Word Builders Vocabulary set from Vol 1 to 6 is simply the best vocabulary program around. Too bad they stopped producing the series. Nothing else since has ever equaled the Word Builders program. Others have tried, but to no avail. I was lucky to find the series being offered on line over the Internet in digital audio format. Without being overtly outré (one of the word I learned from Word Builders), nothing else compares to this series. You will NOT be disappointed.

Very bad audio quality

If you buy audio files to learn english, audio quality is a must !! I will never buy other files like this one.
