QUICK START GUIDE Thank you for purchasing TELL ME MORE® Performance. This Quick Start Guide will help you to better utilize our award‐winning language software. To begin, insert the DVD‐ROM into your computer’s drive. CREATING AN ACCOUNT When you first use TELL ME MORE®, you will have to create your own account. You can create as many usernames and passwords as you wish on the same computer.
PAGE 2
CHOOSING A LEVEL Once you have created an account, your next step is to choose a level to begin your studies. Simply choose the level that you wish to begin at, and then click on the green “check” arrow.
PAGE 3
CHOICE OF FUNCTION MODE FOR TELL ME MORE® In TELL ME MORE®, three different lesson modes are available. If you are a Beginner and/or never used TELL ME MORE®, start with the Guided Mode.
PAGE 4
GUIDED MODE The name of the lessons for each level appears on the left of your screen. The different activities associated with each lesson appear on the right of your screen (squares). For each lesson, the easiest activity is on the left and the hardest ones are at the very right. You should go through each activity for each lesson, starting with the first square and moving towards the last one, left to right. Once you go through a lesson, move on to the next one.
PAGE 5
GUIDED MODE: DIALOGUE EXPLORE The instructions always appear on the top left for each activity. The principle of TELL ME MORE® is immersion, which is the proven best way to learn a language. It is the same as if you were to go abroad to learn the language. At first, you will listen to words/sentences to get familiar with the sounds of the language, and look at the translation of these words/sentences.
PAGE 6
In this first activity, there are no right or wrong answers. You just need to click on any of the three answers and move on to the next dialogue. The purpose here is to get you familiar with the sounds of the language (click on the loudspeaker next to the sentence to hear it as many times as you wish), and look at the translation of the words/sentences to understand their meaning. These same words and sentences will appear in the next activities, reinforcing your learning.
PAGE 7
You can also use the icon “Find out more about a word” (the circle and arrow icon on the top left of your screen). This icon will be very important throughout the software. When you click on that icon, several words/sentences will be highlighted on the screen. You can click on each highlighted word and will be able to: get the translation, listen to the word, pronounce it, pronounce the sentence (when appropriate), as well as having a link to the conjugation or dictionary (when appropriate).
PAGE 8
CREATE AN AUDIO CD (IN GUIDED MODE ONLY) You can export the audio content of TELL ME MORE® (dialogues, videos,…) onto your hard drive, and then burn your own audio CDs, or import the files onto your MP3 players (if you have the ability to convert our audio files onto MP3). To do so, click on the upside‐down question mark icon on the top right of your screen. Then select Audio CD at the very bottom.
PAGE 9
Next, select the lesson containing the audio files you would like to copy to your hard drive.
