Hi everyone,

Please let me know what you make of the audio version of English For Winners Audio covering the following items:

1) sound quality (volume level, background noise)
2) voice quality (intonation, clarity, accent)
3) contents (structure, ideas, feasibilty)

Any additional comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten!

The sound and voice quality are very good. The content and structure are easy to follow. If I may suggest something, the interruptions which occur between certain parts of the recording should be a little bit worked on. This is just a technical issue which can be easily fixed.

It is just an idea, but what do you think of 'illustrating' this e-book?

Best regards,
Georgeta

Hello Georgeta, thanks a lot for your swift response. Can you please show me an example of how you would illustrate the book?

Regards,
Torsten

Hi Torsten!

Maybe 'illustrate' is not quite the right word, but what I tried to suggest is to build in some audio excerpts, e.g. at 1:11:45 '... if you are within the range of an English language radio station...', I think a few seconds of a live radio broadcast could be harmoniously combined with the reading.

Best regards,
Georgeta

Hello Georgeta, thanks for the clarification. I totally agree with you, we will make the recording more fluid by inserting a number of additional voice features. We'll also improve the technical quality of the recording and we'll add more contents covering a number of topics such as English as a 'non-phonetic' language, combining learning English with doing a sport, how to learn grammar, etc.
