4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, but only for advanced learners,
By Beppe "Beppe" (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gimson's Pronunciation of English (Paperback)
This book is strongly recommended only if you are an advanced learner (both in English and in phonetics) and you are looking for a book that helps you to achieve native-like competence in English pronunciation. Note that the book focuses on Received Pronunciation (that is the most prestigious variety spoken in the UK), and only somewhat cursory references are made to other pronunciations (like General American). Note also that sound knowledge of phonetics is required because you might not agree with the author on some issues, such as how he deals with English accentuation.

Gimson's Pronunciation of English,
By Melika Suljkanovic (Beaumont, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gimson's Pronunciation of English (Paperback)
I find the Gimson's Pronunciation of English by Alan Cruttenden to be an excellent book. English language is not my native language. Hence, it was very hard for me to understand the English pronunciation. This book helped me to understand the basics of English Phonetics. By understanding the English phonetics I was able to improve my pronunciation enormously. I can strongly recommend this book to everyone.
