5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal book for speaking english, May 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Pronounce It Perfectly in English (Audio Cassette)

I have gone through this book and still reading it regularly to keep on my practice. It has really helped me to know the trick of American English pronounciation by properly controlling the tongue and mouth movement. The pictures given in this book are of tremendous help to me. I would have liked to see some more words in the pronounciation list. Anyway, this is one of the greatest book for mastering the pronounciation of English.

This book is by far the better book to improve your pronunciation. After years trying all kinds of books, schools of English (for foreigners, of course), English teachers and a myriad of "teach yourself" methods, I finally found one that goes to the point. It teachs you in the easiest way, so clear and nice. It has draws of the mouth in order to show you the movement to make a perfect sound and it really works. The "usage tips" are really useful. Congratulations to the Author, Jean Yates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy too learn!!, December 16, 2000

This review is from: Pronounce It Perfectly in English (Audio Cassette)

This is an excellent book for improving and mastering our pronunciation in this interesting language. I am a peruvian and as a Spanish speaker it was so easy to learn the English sounds, his rhythms and accents. All the book is perfect! :-) Now i can speak English better than before and I can understand English-speaking people better too. The voices recorded in the cassettes are very nice and clear. I like the voice of Julie because she have a sexy voice. The table of pronunciation symbols used by five international dictionaries is very important so we can compare and apply our learned symbols sounds in those dictionaries. This book use a standard English pronunciation...all English speakers will understand you! So i can say with a smile on my face: "I really did a good buy!"
