Mastering the American Accent is a simple method for lowering the accent of non-native English speakers. The book’s well-sequenced courses equate to almost eight hours of digital audio recordings covering the complete text. The audio software includes clear models (both male and female) to assist with coaching a typical American accent.
The application is intended to assist users in speaking Standard American English clearly, confidently, and accurately. The book’s numerous exercises cover themes such as vowel sounds, troublesome consonants such as V, W, TH, the American R and T, and others. Correct lip and tongue postures for all sounds are thoroughly covered.
Aside from sound production, the program teaches prosodic elements such as syllable stress, emphasis, intonation, linking words for smoother speech flow, common word contractions, and much more.
Other areas that frequently confound ESL students are also covered and clarified. They include distinguishing between informal and formal speech, homophones (e.g., they’re and there), identifying words with silent letters (e.g., comb, receipt), and avoiding embarrassing pronunciation errors, such as confusing “pull” with “pool.”
Students are introduced to a variety of irregular English spelling norms and exceptions, as well as how these irregularities might lead to pronunciation mistakes. A native language handbook discusses troublesome accent concerns in 13 distinct languages.
