The Language of Life Training Kit is focused on teaching over 200 basic words, as well as basic pronouns, verbs, masculine/feminine and constructing sentences. The approach is simple: watch and hear the words pronounced in English or Spanish on the DVD or in the portable device. Next, do the practice exercises in the workbook and practice with your flash cards. Finally, if you have the portable device, speak into the supplied microphone and record yourself to hear how you sound compared to the correct phonetic pronunciation.
