The second edition of the highly acclaimed American Accent Training, now on 5 audio CDs, is for foreign-born students and business people working, traveling or studying in the United States and Canada. Through extensive intonation and pronunciation exercises, students learn how to speak with a standard American Accent. At the same time, listening comprehension improves dramatically. Supplementary materials included detailed nationality guides for eight languages (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Korean), access to a comprehensive website, and referral to a qualified telephone analyst for an individual diagnostic speech analysis. Also included are colored markers for written exercises, and a mirror to practice accurate pronunciation.

 

What Customers Say About American Accent Training (Book and Audio CD, 2nd Edition):

To my french friends: this is not going to help.- the book starts with intonation (also a great problem for french people) and to my point of view, it should be more systematic, starting with vowels in detail. I made a great progress already after 1 week. This book is well written and gives you motivation to learn. Anyway, the part with the table and vowels was missing on the CD, I had to return it twice.I ended up by buying "Mastering the American Accent" (Lisa Mojsin). Good book for french students (on devrait commencer ca dès l'école, notre accent est toujours une catastrophe, mais ouf, les anglophones trouvent ca sexy ;-). But:- the author speaks too fast - not that it's hard to understand, but we learn better if we start slowly (same for music). My mother tongue is french, and I speak all the time way too fast.

Two thumbs. I can follow this book easily. And my accent seems better than before after I bought this book two weeks later.

I have read the book, listened to the CDs and did the exercises, no improvement what so ever.which ever changes in my accent I have acquired are e defined by a professional(after this feutal attempt I have turned to professional help ) as incorrect pronunciation (low level english, "non western").

This book focuses on stress and intonation which is what ESL teachers usually do not teach in their classes as much as pronunciation. There is a paragraph you read a few times in every unit, so you can gauge your own improvement by the end. I highly recommend this book with CDs. The CDs that come with this book make all the difference. You can listen to SO much of this book, even the introduction of the book - not just certain exercises.

It seems doesn't work at all. I love the intonation. I love this book. It have lots of sentences with intonation. If Mrs Ann Cook slower on speaking, and lower the dianogtis test, the book would be the best seller. However the dianogtis test is 100 bucks which is pretty expensive compared to the book. I like the technique la la la, me me me, duh duh duh, but I don't like the rubber band technique for everytime you stress on words.

book if want more on linking words and pronunciation. I'd recommend anyone for the Master.

It should have been slower. In general, the intonation was great compared to the book of Master American Accent that I have costing 70 bucks, it has more detail on linking but I don't like the intonation which is boring.

The intonation is great I love the most. I love the linking like woundn't he= wun don ni, is he= i zi and so on.

It was great compared to many books that I bought. But on the other hand, the gap for repeating is so close, hard to do it.

It should have cost around 50 bucks or lower otherwise main purpose is to make money from the test not from the book.
