The CD-ROM contains pronunciation of evevy consnents and vowels with video demonstration. I definitely works!!. Other accent reduction books just shows you pictures and descritions, but you'll never understand it unless you are study with native speaker. However, This book is great when you are studying along, it like having a private tutor!. CD-ROM and Audio CD is great, however, the workbook contains very little amont of information. This book is basically all about basic pronunciation. So i recommend you to start with this book and then workout with 'American Accent Training'. It is another great material, however has very different purpose and methods. more focused on intonation. Although it is a great book, you might hesitate to buy it because of its price. Then Listen up, I have a great knew!. I looked up the databases of local community libraries, and most of them has this book. So you can study it for free. However, if once you check this book out, youll be definitely want to buy it! Changing pronunciation takes long time and need to exercise everyday. It's not painful at all, it fun and easy. just give it a shot, youll love it!

Having taught English as a Second Language and Accent Reduction Techniques for more than a decade at universities and for corporations, Judy Ravin is the also CEO of English Communication Services, an accent reduction training company. In 'Lose Your Accent In 28 Days,' Ravin draws upon her many years of professional experience to develop a system for accent reduction that includes an instruction book enhanced with an interactive CD-ROM and an audio CD that shows the learner how to produce the sounds of the English language. This provision of a visual and audio reinforcement to the typical audio cassette for language instruction is a major advance, along with Ravin's provision of 80 distinct techniques for better pronunciation. 'Lose Your Accent In 28 Days' is applicable to students of all language backgrounds and would be of special value for immigrants aspiring to succeed in the American corporate, academic, broadcast journalism, or entertainment industries. - Midwest Book Review

Getting rid of a foreign accent is not easy at all. I can tell you that for sure since I spent many hours practicing English and still I had an accent! With this new system (Lose Your Accent in 28 Days) you will make fast progress. The main reason is the CD-ROM, which is included with this system. On this CD-ROM you will see video clips of the instructor showing you, very close up, what to do with your mouth, jaw, tongue to make the sounds the right way. This is like having your own private tutor right in your home. Very interesting and helpful. The audio CD is also helpful, teaching some important parts of pronunciation like stress. How fast you will improve of course will depend on how much you try. I spent one month on the system, put it away for one month, then returned to it for another month to review. I tried some other systems for accent reduction and pronunciation but they were either too simple or too complicated.
