Summary: Finally a book that REALLY helps!
Review: Finally, Jean Yates has taken something scary to so many, and made it so easy and fun--learning not just the words, but how to communicate! I was appalled by the previous review as I had been told how effective this book is prior to reading it...Upon seeing how this book helps people actually connect with, understand, and speak the language, it shows this reader 2 things: First, Jean Yates knows not only the language, but the art and importance of really communicating. Second, it shows the previous reviewer was simply pitching another book and didn't take the time to read this book and understand how it helps the confidence of those learning the language. Anyone trying a new language knows how frustrating it is to not only find the right words to say, but to find the right way to say them. Jean Yates comes across as a teacher of the language, and of confidence in those that want to learn it. Oh, and by the way, Jean Yates is a woman... Another observation missed by the previous reviewer.

Summary: Ideal book for speaking english
Review: I have gone through this book and still reading it regularly to keep on my practice. It has really helped me to know the trick of American English pronounciation by properly controlling the tongue and mouth movement. The pictures given in this book are of tremendous help to me. I would have liked to see some more words in the pronounciation list. Anyway, this is one of the greatest book for mastering the pronounciation of English.

Summary: Not very useful for me!
Review: I tried many accent reduction series. This one is not so useful to me. The way she go over certain difficult sounds I have did not make sense (to my ears). It might work better for other accent (non Asian/Chinese). Very hard for me to distinguish some sounds from the tape.

Summary: Go for Ann Cook one!
Review: The title says all. Her book, American Accent Traning 2nd edition, is MUCH better than this book... I REALLY want to return this usuless book and cassettes... There are many serious and hardworking international students who suffer from their accents and trying to find a way to solve their problem. I believe this book is just making fun of these serious students... I can believe how this author can publish such a incompleted and useless book... this guy should ashemed of himself.

Summary: Very easy too learn!!
Review: This is an excellent book for improving and mastering our pronunciation in this interesting language. I am a peruvian and as a Spanish speaker it was so easy to learn the English sounds, his rhythms and accents. All the book is perfect! :-) Now i can speak English better than before and I can understand English-speaking people better too. The voices recorded in the cassettes are very nice and clear. I like the voice of Julie because she have a sexy voice. The table of pronunciation symbols used by five international dictionaries is very important so we can compare and apply our learned symbols sounds in those dictionaries. This book use a standard English pronunciation...all English speakers will understand you! So i can say with a smile on my face: "I really did a good buy!"
