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

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.

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. ...
