many new words. I don’t have help, and I am looking for a program that can help me. A program that is like a tutor and that remembers what I need to learn. I need to learn the sound and spelling and meaning of the words. Most programs I find have no sound, or they only have a few hundred words. It should also not be so expensive, because I can not afford a private teacher, for example.
