5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent program, March 25, 2002
This review is from: Speak Up!(r): American Regional Accent Elimination Program: Learn to Speak Standard American English (Living Language Speakup! Series) (Audio Cassette)
Mr. Chwat does an excellent diagnosis of the American regional accents which you may want to modify if you are planning a career in a field where standard American English is the norm for speakers. The accompanying book is amazingly thorough and has close to 200 pages of analysis, correction, and exercises. Yes, it would be nice to have this on cd - tapes are awkward to rewind frequently when practicing the exercises. Still, it is the best program on the market at this price. If you can find it, grab it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but low-tech, July 14, 1999
This review is from: Speak Up!(r): American Regional Accent Elimination Program: Learn to Speak Standard American English (Living Language Speakup! Series) (Audio Cassette)
The preogram content seems to be of high quality and is quite interesting to learn, however, the tapes are not the best media for such a program. I'd rather see it on a CD-ROM as a multimedia course, which would make it more structured and easier to navigate...
