Clearer pronunciation for better communication
If your English accent is letting you down, this is the perfect book for you. You'll see and hear how to soften the influence of your mother tongue and speak clear English everyone will understand.
Professional accent coaches Sarah and Helen show you how to pronounce each sound and when to use them. They will help you recognize why your native language makes you mispronounce certain sounds, and which sounds you therefore need to focus on.
This new edition makes it even easier to speak clear English, with more practice opportunities and improved sections on stress and intonation, connected speech and consonant clusters. It also includes a new visual questionnaire, in the form of a map, to help you identify which parts of the book are most relevant for you, based on your mother tongue.

Thirty-six units on the main consonant and vowel sounds in English
'What am I doing wrong?' section looks at the mistakes you are most likely to be making based on your native language
Advice on rhythm, stress, and pitch
Videos, illustrations, and photos demonstrating the correct positions to produce accurate sounds
Online video and audio clips providing clear native speaker model pronunciation
Extra practice sections concentrating on the most problematic sounds
