Review of Learn to Speak, from eLanguage.com
MP3+video+web, No pronunciation scores, Cheap, ★★★
They teach 4 languages in their full course ($20), with MP3 files to learn on the go. The web portion includes simulated interactions and documentaries narrated in the target language for immersion. Each of 40 lessons includes vocabulary, dialog, grammar.
They do not say they have pronunciation scores, but let you compare yourself to natives, "Record your voice and use advanced speech analysis tools to compare your pronunciation with native speakers." They also include "3D phonetic diagrams that illustrate the correct movement of the mouth, lips, and tongue." Only the lack of any example on their website prevents a wholehearted recommendation.
Most Amazon reviewers give good reviews to the Spanish course, not to French, nor to English, where one says that all explanations are in English, unlike the same company's 35-language course below which has explanations in 6 other languages, and is reviewed separately.
