Pronouciation practice with usmlehelp

Another thing I have to concern in the Spoken english proficiency is how to speak more clearly. Even I have conversation class with an English man who help me a lot in correcting my errors. In non-english speaking environment, it is not easy to practice myself.I found http://www.usmelhelp.com/ from google.

This website provides pronunciations practice by follow the master sound. It is interesting compare with pretty low cost ( 9.75 USD or about 360 Bath for 1 month subscription). The voice of a female physician is grateful. Most of the dialouges appear in First Aids book yet applied to be shorter, easier for IMG to speack.

There are two things disappointed me about this site

First, Sophisticate in a registration process. I understand that they intend to do the site in student-friendly rather than a real business way.Therefore, they have used pay-pal as a payment system that be quite tricky. Eg. after pay with credit card,it is necessary to click back to the merchant..Otherwise, you have to wait for password for a few days!- no other suggestion.
Actually,I think the customer can solve by themselves by access paypal website to get the invoice ID in first log in.

Second, It would be better if there were patient's respond sound as real exam.
And each dialouge should be organized in situation pattern eg. Opening encounter, Present illness, Past history taking, Counselling, Responding to the challange questions.

I plan to practice by speak out loundly..since Richard,my englishman teacher, said that speaking english need more widen mounth opening than Thai do. I have to exercise mouth muscles as much as I can.
