Charles
Spellman's© English CDs and books
aim to motivate and facilitate the student's
learning process. Each audio CD is accompanied by a book
with the complete text. The CDs can be played with standard audio CD players
in the same way as ordinary music CDs. Nevertheless, they differ from common
audio CDs in that they have up to 99 tracks to select from. That is: the
student can choose to listen, for instance, the contents of tracks 12,
23 and 96, repeat them as many times as necessary (just by programming
his CD player) and learn even during activities such as jogging.
