5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, November 11, 2007

This review is from: Perfect English Pronunciation: How to Pronounce Vowels, Diphthongs, and Word Endings (DVD)

I have used this video for a number of years in my ESL classes. It is particularly helpful for showing sagittal views of the mouth during articulation. Close-ups of the actors' mouths assist the class members with properly forming the phonemes. It is accurate and direct and allows me to use any material I have to support what we see and hear on the screen. I purchased this because I found I could not help my students enough with my pronunciation and contortions of lips, tongue and teeth. This did the trick and forms the basis of all of my pronunciation classes with non-native speakers of English.

This review is from: Perfect English Pronunciation: How to Pronounce Vowels, Diphthongs, and Word Endings (DVD)

There are so many great instruction books for english pronunciation but almost all of them are significantly lacking in terms of demonstrating how english is actually pronounced by native speakers. You can clearly see how native speakers of English use their lips, tongues, and mouths to make sounds. Sometimes, I rely on youtube video clips freely available but I still recommend you to check this DVD out. This is a great great DVD you must watch to make great progress in your english speaking.
