EdSeal OF APPROVAL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

freeENGLISH.net
http://www.freeenglish.net

freeENGLISH is a free multimedia Internet delivered ESL/EFL
English as a Second/Foreign Language ) course designed by
educators to help anyone learn how to speak accent free English.
The freeENGLISH program first teaches you the sounds required to
speak English clearly then shows you how to assemble these sounds
to build words and sentences.

The setup and installation are straight forward and presentation
impressive but the interface does take some learning and requires
a minimum Pentium 90 multimedia computer system and the
Macromedia FLASH ActiveX control installed.

freeENGLISH.net receives the EdSeal of Approval.
