Speaking of “Extras”, this is where the software's subtitle truly comes into play. The more dictation you do, the more Extras you will unlock. These typically take the shape of simple games that help you, as the title suggests, improve your English the fun way. In “Marathon” your speed of writing determines the speed of a runner on the top screen and the goal is to get him to reach the finish as soon as possible. In “Mousehunt” your writing is the only thing keeping a bunch of mice away from a tasty piece of cheese! There’s a nice competitive element to these games, as four different players can keep a personal save file on one English Training Game Card, with the best score on display for others to beat. Finally, there’s also some good old-fashioned “Crossword” puzzling for you to do!
