confused, 11 Feb 2004
This book has lots of usefull information if you wish to speak more clearly, unfortunatly it doesn't have enough usefull information. It doesn't mention anything about phonetics for example, and thus is quite useless for those who wish to work on their pronunciation. It does contain some usefull practical excercises for the most common faults in formation of phonemes. But unless you know what a phoneme is, I don't suggest buying this book. It's hard to correct your speech from books alone and if you're going to attempt it, find a better book than this.

A must-have book!!!!, 7 Jun 2006
One of the best books for any speech-paired readers. This is one of the few books that had helped to resolve my speech defects. For over 30 years, I had very severe speech impediments. Over the next 10 years, most speech defects were only mild and eventually dissolved. Today, I can speak with absolute fluency. My hard-worked pronunciation is perfect.
If you're deaf-born, I most recommend a pronouncing dictionary in whichever language you speak. Your second book should be "English Phonetics and Phonology: A Practical Course" by Peter Roach. Both teach you phonetics. Your third and ssubsequent books should contain exercises for your vocal cords, tongue, lungs, etc.
