If your child/teenager has difficult learning the traditional way, you should check out this software. A free trial download is available. Note: the trial version uses computer voice, after registration, you will get high quality human voice of American accent.
As you all know, I swear by www.download.com. Well here is what their review said:
August 01, 2004: CNET Review
...The clear and direct interface lists all your study options on the main window's left side. We were impressed by the number of ways Vocaboly can help you learn. For example, you can have words and meanings randomly tick across your screen, take a multiple-choice test, spell words when given their definitions, and play several games...
