Practise English, Parler L'anglais Au Quotidien

English alone at home or in the cozy and comfortable atmosphere of a language laboratory, you can understand or speak it without too many problems. But once in real life, it's a different story, between the accent and the speech rate of your interlocutor and the background noises that cover it all. It is based on this observation that Practise English! Speaking English daily on Nintendo DS has been developed. With more than 400 everyday scenes recorded in real conditions, everyone can work 'as if they were there' listening comprehension, writing and pronunciation. Answering the phone, buying clothes, settling a taxi ride, listening to directions in a train station or airport, conversing with office colleagues, asking a local for directions, listening to the news... so many anxiety-provoking situations where a misunderstanding can lead to inconvenience and misunderstandings.
