This is a terrific program. It is exactly what I was looking for. I am a Speech Pathologist working with an Italian girl who wants to lose her accent. The exercises and supports that are included in this program are systematic, practical and easy to understand. My client and I are both...

Awesome!!!

I bought American Accent Training just a couple of days ago, and I've already noticed a good change in my accent. I've even been praised by my English teacher. The best about this book is that it helps building your confidence to talk to just about anyone. It really pays off.

Very good training

I started few weeks ago, I don't see any changes in my accent yet, but I think it a very good start. I may need a personal lessons with speech specialist later, but may be not. This course is the good guide which direction to go, but you need spend lots of ours practicing. Good luck!

I've been living in America for 15 years. I came from Africa. All these years I tried hard to learn English; but, despite my effort, each time I open my mouth, I am met with a "Where are you from?". And the culprit is my heavy accent which makes it difficult for me to communicate with people I...

What they're really trying to get you to buy is their courses

I had high hopes for this book and multiple c.ds. Then I found they had a 'helpline' with a small fee for assessment ($100). Thinking I could get assessed and use the book in a more particular way, working on my personal vocal issues.Anyway, very detailed in depth testing later, I am being told...

Very sweet and friendly

Like many ESL books the instructions presuppose already intermediate level of ability. If a teacher can isolate the drills, and omit the extensive explanations, all the better. I dont think it's necessary, if possible, to eliminate accents. We often say that America is a land of immigrants--a...
