I love this book!! This book is very useful for me. English is not my first language, but i need use english often in my job. So, you can imagine this is how difficult for me. I must study by myself. My goal is to communicate well in english with my colleagues. I found this book provides very detailed information about american accent. Recommend!

I like the fact that I can access my academic books as soon as I need them.

I must say this book is really very informative. I think this book is a compilation of the many books by the same writer. I think this is worth your time to read. There are a lot of tips to learn from this book.

It's hardy a "book", more like an article with some good tips. It doesn't cover many important thing of accent training. You get what you paid for. If you look for systematic training, I suggest another book called "American accent training"

Did not deliver. I read the comments and I thought "wow, it should be a great book, offering me a lot of techniques and recommendations on how to reduce my foreign accent." But it wasn't. There were some examples on the vowels and consonants, but it lacked the transcription, nor it provided the CD with the right pronunciation. They explain how to pronounce the sounds without any audio material, this is hilarious. If you want a really good book on the pronunciation and reducing your accent, I would definitely recommend the book by Ann Cook called American Accent Training.P.s. There were some spelling mistakes in the book, I can't give you the page number, because they weren't paginated. And I wonder why does this book have so much of a positive feedback?

I really enjoyed this book and received a lot of valuable and helpful information. There are many inspiring ideas to Eliminate Accent to Sound More American. Will share to my friend.

Good tips and really helpfull. And I used it to train while i was reading to a native speaker. Thank you .

This is great for anyone who has learnt to speak English very well but who finds that their accent sometimes holds them back in business in America. The book deals with the issues surrounding changing your accent and stresses that their is nothing wrong with having an accent but helps you with softening this for certain professional situations. If you're serious about your career then this is a good guide. There is a linguistic background to this dealing with sounds, syllables, grammar and different word endings.
