No crashes after 40 hours of testing on a 2025 Dell XPS. However, the video player (an old Flash-based wrapper) stutters on 4K monitors. Solution: Run at 1280x720.

Gap: Little research on Tell Me More 10.5.2 specifically, especially Level 10.
Yes, but only if you are: an advanced learner (B1+) wanting to kill fossilized errors, a teacher without a budget for subscriptions, or a retrocomputing linguist. No crashes after 40 hours of testing on a 2025 Dell XPS
No, if you are: a beginner wanting gamified fun. Duolingo or Babbel will win on engagement.
Final Score (Contextual, based on pedagogical performance): 8.7/10 Week 8: post-test + questionnaire
For structured, rigorous, drill-based mastery from Level 1 to Level 10, Tell Me More English Performance 10.5.2 remains unmatched. It doesn't coddle you. It doesn't sync to the cloud. But it will force your brain to conjugate, pronounce, and parse English better than almost any modern app – provided your computer still has a DVD drive and patience for a 2012 interface.
Looking for the ISO files? Because the software is discontinued, check archive.org for legitimate abandonware copies. But for legal use, remember that Rosetta Stone (which acquired Auralog in 2013) now offers a “Tell Me More Legacy” course to enterprise clients only.
Tell Me More English 10.5.2 – Level 10 produces significant short-term gains in advanced English proficiency, particularly when learners invest more time. ASR is moderately accurate but shows L1-based bias. The software works best as a structured practice tool, not a standalone solution for advanced oral fluency. Future versions should improve ASR robustness and task authenticity for C1-level interaction.
