TalkingWords keeps track of the words and phrases your student
knows and needs to learn. To become an effective communicator
one must learn nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, prepositions,
and more. Then the speaker must put these words together. For
many, this is the tricky part. TalkingWords is a database
full of words, phrases, social sayings, questions and all the
basic phrase structures to take the student from ground zero to
talking.
