Да, программа действительно хорошая. Все звуки американского произношения с примерами и анимацией их произношения. Вобщем must have.
А параллельно советую

Примерно то-же самое, но в книжном варианте с mp3.
Эти два курса прекрасно будут дополнять друг друга.
Спасибо.
Нужели рабатает?
Какая OS? Был ли установлен QuickTime до этой софтины? Может какие танцы с бубном нужны при установке?
Вот что нашел по этому поводу:
---------------
YOU NEED WINDOWS 98 FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY.
It was written for Quicktime 4.1 (from 2000, back when it was a really horrible program!), Windows 98 and Macromedia Director 7 (the most notoriously buggy version of Director ever).
No matter what you try; whether it be actually installing Quicktime 4 on your shiny XP machine, or trying "Compatibility" modes (the XP application setting that tries to get old programs to run), you still won't be able to run the program successfully. It will try to initialize the Quicktime-based Video player and then popup an error message and quit.
That being said, there IS an updated CD-rom of the program put out by the developer that makes it compatible with Windows XP. This torrent contains one of the earlier versions of Pronunciation Power 2.
What we have here is probably jamesdensley's CD image of his own legal copy of this program that he had lying around somewhere. Rather than just let it collect dust he created this torrent for us to enjoy, and we should be thankful for his work because even if it's not XP compatible, there's actually nothing WRONG with the torrent and it is a very good program.
If you ignore my advice and try to run it on XP you'll be able to run the Exercises, which is a section where you click on sounds, words or sentences and hear them. You can then record yourself saying them over and over until you've got the pronunciation right. What you'll be missing out, however, is a huge section of videos and tutorials that help you with the nitty gritty of pronunciation which eases learning.
I suppose it's still quite useful just for the exercises, however I really wish someone would release a cracked version of Pronunciation Patterns, which is pretty much the best Pronunciation training program out there. Just try the demo and you'll be convinced. There's a torrent out there which is called "pronunciation patterns educational" and includes PPS_Edu.exe, and serial.txt. I think this is the program but it has no seeders, unfortunately.
Right now I'm playing around with audio lessons in MP3 format (there are PLENTY of audiobook courses), the exercise portion of this program, and the limited features of the Pronunciation Patterns demo.
Hope this long comment has been a help to others out there who want to improve their English accent.

Выходит, то, собственно, ради чего это приложение скачивается имхо, не может работать на ХР.
Как вариант, можно попробовать запустить на вирт. машине с Win98. Жаль, оператива маловато, но все равно попробую - уж больно полезной кажется прога.
Все заработало
