Extreme English
contains over 45,000 English words and
phrases, including basic vocabulary (Basic English collections in various
language versions), technical and scientific vocabulary (Advanced English),
and highly advanced vocabulary required on college exams in the United States (Power
Words!).
In addition, the package includes English Grammar (exercises
for the most important problems of English grammar), Irregular Verbs (a
collection of essential irregular verb forms), and Pronunciation and Spelling
(which enables you to practice pronouncing and spelling those English words
which foreigners find the most challenging).
Words and phrases in Extreme English are presented in the form of
questions and answers. In the Basic English collections, your task is to
give the English translation of a phrase which is presented in German, English,
Czech, Russian, Polish or Finnish, depending on your chosen language version. In
Advanced English, the questions are definitions of English words. In the Power
Words! collection your task is to give an answer based on the definition or
a synonym of a word.
All English texts in Extreme English are illustrated with sound recordings (American pronunciation). You can record
your own pronunciation and compare it with the pronunciation of the speaker. The
recordings in Basic English are illustrated with both British and American
pronunciation.
Extreme English is equipped with a voice control system which recognizes
English voice commands. It can be used to activate program options and control
the training process without using the keyboard. You can use headphones for maximum convenience.
The Extreme English training content, coupled with the functionality of
SuperMemo, is a perfect way to learn English words and phrases. By making regular reviews, you can keep
previously learned information in your memory and concentrate on learning new
vocabulary.
