MASTERING THE AMERICAN ACCENT (Second-Hand/Used-Available In Malaysia)

MASTERING THE AMERICAN ACCENT

Second-Hand Malaysia is offering the following item for sale to serious buyers and collectors in Malaysia & beyond:

This combination book and audio instructional program is designed to diminish the accents of men and women who speak English as their second language.  It will help them speak standard American English with clarity, confidence, and accuracy.  Specific exercises concentrate on vowel sounds, problematic consonants such as V, W, B, TH, and the American R, employ correct syllable stress, link words for smoother speech flow, use common word contractions such as won't instead of will not, and more.  Additional topics that often confuse ESL students are also discussed and explained.  They include distinguishing between casual and formal speech, homophones (for instance, they're and there), recognizing words with silent letters (comb, receipt, and others), and avoiding embarrassing pronunciation mistakes, such as mixing up party and potty.  Students are familiarized with many irregular English spelling rules and exceptions, and are shown how such irregularities can contribute to pronunciation errors.  A native language guide references problematic accent issues of 13 different language backgrounds.  Correct lip and tongue positions for all sounds are discussed in detail.  Enclosed with the book are four compact discs that use male and female voices to coach correct American-style pronunciation.
