5.0 out of 5 stars Fun with Phonetics, July 6, 2000

This review is from: The Joy of Phonetics and Accents (Paperback)

This is a brilliant book on finding the joy in language through the study of sound and phonetics in the English language. A must-read for singers, actors, public speakers and anyone interested in the English language, Colaianni provides a unique approach to what could easily be a tiring subject. Colaianni seeks to make language tangible through his vocal exercises and his delightful idea of making alphabet pillows. Don't just say language. Experience it! Taste it, touch it, play with it, love it, make it yours! His enthusiasm for the subject is infectuous. Although written in a clear, easily understood manner, the joy he feels for sound will soon be yours once you begin to follow his simple instructions. Learn to love language!
