The program is very effective. I had a student from Africa that spoke only Spanish (from Equatorial Guinea). I had no idea there were any countries in Africa that spoke Spanish... Anyway, he literally didn't know ANY English...ANY...and I was supposed to teach him U.S. Citizenship. I knew it was a lost cause, so I sat him down in front of my laptop everyday for 2 months during my class time and let him use the program. I would ask him questions everyday and his English improved noticeably after every session. By the end of the school year, he was able to carry on a conversation and was no longer isolated by his language (initially, the Hispanics rejected him and the African Americans couldn't understand him). Now all is well with the young man and he plays soccer and is functioning well in his classes.
