Cd-Rom:Welcome to Mean City: Learn English and Survive

Résumé

Intended, with the use of a dictionary, for anyone studying English or wishing to build their confidence abroad. The English phrasebook and help file can be customized to suit users whose first language is Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Greek, Japanese and Arabic. The user is encouraged to solve an intriguing mystery in a strange city and learn a new language. This is the kind of real vocabulary you need in those everyday situations when you travel abroad. Each charater you meet tests your language skills as you check into a hotel, change money, ask for information, deal with officials and even chat to the locals. It aims to develop observation, listening and conversational skills and build vocabulary. Help and translations are always available in your own language.
