The American Accent Guide- Second Edition- A Complete and Comprehensive Course on the Pronunciation Description:

The American Accent Guide, Second Edition: A Complete and Comprehensive Course on the Pronunciation and Speaking Style of American English for Individuals of All Language Backgrounds / book and 8 CDs review:
5 stars (Wonderful) - Great purchase and I highly recommend it. The CDs are easy to understand and the notebook is clear and simple. Not to much talking; just to the point.
1 stars (For a college grad from an English speaking school) - Totally useless for anyone but a well educated native English speaker with an accent they want to change. No Tesol grad can get anything from this material. The book reads like a post grad textbook. A truly tough read even for me, a college grad and professional and a part time English teacher.

This material is completely inaccessable to my wife who is learning english as a second tongue.

Waste of our money.




4 stars (great book) - that was really nice trainnig methods once it not only teaches you word repetition but also works on the functional aspects of phonation - great for a Brazilian guy that had a hard time to learn how to "untie" his tongue to speak.
