...if you have always longed for a Blue's Clues-style program that could teach you to speak like 19th century noblemen.
Hornswoggle, mollycoddle, donnybrook, snollygoster... I'm sure the instructor would disagree, but some words rightfully sound goofy these days. It's okay if we let them go.
To be fair, there are plenty of useful words in here. My main complaint is with the delivery style. The level of vocabulary does not match the level of delivery. It feels like an elementary school instructor teaching you college-level words. This is fine... for a while. Then it gets tiresome.
