Caution,
This review is from: English Pronunciation Made Simple (with 2 Audio CDs) (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
A word of caution. The ad states, "Free audio CD includes all the exercises in the Student Book, providing a model of correct pronunciation for each sound." The audio CD's that are included do not cover all of the excersises in this book. These CD's only cover the "check yourself" section at the end of the book. You have to order a separate book and Audio Program to get all of the excersises.

Excellent tools for teaching better American English pronunciation and "accent reduction",

This review is from: English Pronunciation Made Simple (with 2 Audio CDs) (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book does fulfill its title, promising to make English pronunciation simple! There are 3 parts: 1) vowels, 2)stress, rhythm, and intonation, and 3) consonants. The second section on "stress, rhythm, and intonation" is shorter compared to some other books, but I think it's very concise. Each section follows a consistent, logical format, including presenting individual words, then phrases, and then complete sentences. I only disagreed with a few parts of the book, about 5% perhaps. There were a few words included that don't match the traditional pronunciation that I have always known. Subtleties for softening the 't' sound on unaccented syllables isn't included. Plus, the section on intonation tries to project an intonation style that doesn't always seem natural to me. However, the example dialogs, prose selections and variety of poems serve a teacher and student well for a variety of examples. The book comes with 2 CD's for individual self-study. These 2 CD's cover parts of the book, but not every single exercise exhaustively. The other exercises are covered on 4 other CD's available separately. I teach ESL, American English pronunciation, and accent reduction in the Dallas, TX area. My website is www.EnglishAmericanStyle.com. To sum it up, I think this book presents a logical, fresh and varied resource for teaching, modeling, and helping students improve their pronunciation.

By Ali "ESL teacher" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: English Pronunciation Made Simple (with 2 Audio CDs) (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
this book is great for students who want to study alone or need practice exercises in addition to classroom instruction. Word, sentence,and paragraph practice, along with CD's with good exercises.
