WORLD-CLASS "ACCENT REDUCTION" SINCE 1991
The Perfect English Pronunciation series consists of two DVDs or VHS tapes, each approximately 60 minutes long. How to Pronounce Consonants teaches how the 25 consonant sounds of American English are pronounced. The How to Pronounce Vowels, Diphthongs, and Word Endings teaches the 21 vowel sounds and diphthongs of American English. There is an additional lesson on this tape, which explains how certain word endings are pronounced.

Each sound lesson uses clear direction, animation, and close-ups of the mouth, to show how each sound is made. In each lesson, there are examples of each sound in words, sentences, and contrasting pairs. The individual lessons can be easily accessed so they can be studied and reviewed as often as possible. The phonetic symbol for each sound is shown on each sound lesson title.

The Perfect English Pronunciation series has been used world-wide since 1991 by libraries, schools, English as a Second Language (ESL) instructors, speech/language pathologists, and corporations. The series is ideal for anyone wishing to improve their pronunciation of American English.
