Very good for the people's listening
13 April 2000
Format:Paperback
My teacher recommended this book and took it as the context. It solved our many listening problem. I have studied it every chapter. It is really good for my listening.

Excellent listening and supplemental pronunciation text
5 July 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is excellent for topics like linking and ellipsis, and the way unstressed vowels are pronounced as one of our two minimal vowel sounds. It also can be flipped around and used as an outstanding, if not essential, supplement to most pronunciation texts. I'm a biased teacher in that I think pronunciation books tend to over-emphasize sentence stress, which learners can pick up naturally, rather than discrete sounds, which they generally cannot.
