Publisher's summary

Did you know that if you learn the top 500 most commonly used words in the English language, you will be familiar with almost 80 percent of all words used in every day conversation? This is wonderful news, because if you can master the pronunciation of these frequently used words, then you will sound like a native speaker in no time!

Instead of concentrating on the countless rules (and exceptions) of the English language, you will be focusing on the essentials that will get you up to speed and speaking in a polished manner - and having fun while doing it.

Studies show that we can boost information retention in our long-term memory when we:

  1. Hear the information multiple times
  2. Speak the information aloud
  3. Hear the information in context

The Polished Pronunciation Practice course combines all three of these techniques to create a powerhouse memory method that will help you easily recall the proper pronunciation of each of the words. You’ll also enjoy a short story that incorporates all of the words you’ll be learning and perfecting. The story is suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed by everyone.

Whether you are a young child, 99 years old, or anywhere in between, this program is for you! Empower yourself to reach your language learning goals and add this title to your library right now!

Just what I was looking for

This is a great pronunciation practice course. I just wish there were more volumes, like volume 3 and 4 with words from 1000-1500 and 1500-2000 and also the audio quality could be a little better, but other than that this is one of the best pronunciation courses I have found and that's saying a lot because I have tried a lot of courses.

Very basic!

This was extremely basic and wasn’t helpful to learn more complicated words. This book is meant for someone who doesn’t know English.
