Great for use in tutoring or in the classroom
We use this book in our pronunciation/intonation ESL classes (for advanced adult speakers) because it covers all the essential areas of sound production: pronunciation, intonation, word stress, rhythm, and linking. The examples are very helpful and clear. The exercises are well written and relevant for adult speakers. The supplemental materials are also great,...

Not satisfied
Can I purchase the CD for this book? I do have the book and Cassette tapes that I do not like and do not have a cassette tape player for. I want to keep the cassette tapes because I will not go to the Post Office and mailed the book and cassette tapes back. How can I just purchase the CD? I hope this is a full size CD that you use in a regular CD player.

This review is from: Well Said: Pronunciation for Clear Communication (Paperback)
We use this book in our pronunciation/intonation ESL classes (for advanced adult speakers) because it covers all the essential areas of sound production: pronunciation, intonation, word stress, rhythm, and linking. The examples are very helpful and clear. The exercises are well written and relevant for adult speakers. The supplemental materials are also great, especially for people working with a tutor. There is a speech profile to be completed by the student and reviewed by an instructor or tutor, which can help students focus on their strengths and weaknesses. There is also a good review of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which is very useful for students who are not familiar with this transcription system. There are also sections which give an overview of the vowel and consonant sounds of American English. It also has good suggestions for independent learning, which are great to give students who have finished a class and are wondering what to do next. The book can be used with or without the tapes. You do need to have access to a native speaker to make use of many of the exercises. This could be your teacher or tutor, or even just an American friend. I don't see this a weakness, because anyone studying English needs regular native speaker feedback , but it is something to be aware of if you are studying on your own. Overall, one of the best pronunciation books available.
