Reviews:
“This is an excellent book. It is the first in a series of books on elocution by the same authors, all of which I have bought and used. I recommend it without reservation to all non-native English speakers and native English speakers (like myself) alike who want to reduce their accent. It teaches Received Pronunciation which is traditionally taught in the leading English drama schools (resulting in the polished accents of top British actors). It is ideal for the many people for whom private lessons in elocution – now rarer and harder to find than in the past – are too expensive.
This first book, although the first in a series, is also stand-alone. It is comprehensive, covering all English sounds. It focuses on the words and expressions most commonly used in everyday conversational English.
The authors’ approach is to focus on the physical aspects of articulation, getting the student to understand the movements of the mouth and tongue and to practice in front of a mirror. This is a method that works, and is effective for adults, who will not be able to change their accent convincingly just by listening and mimicking, as young children can.
I have looked for other books in the marketplace on accent reduction and there really is nothing else available like this.”

"This is a book useful for both those starting on the path of accent reduction and those that have used any of the previous books by Olga and Linda (my case). The method is the same but this volume concentrates on the most used words and expressions of daily life and I have found it really helpful in correcting my pronunciation of many commonly used phrases. I have also found the apps really helpful in comparing my pronunciation to the correct one, much more practical than the CDs."

"Excellent book. As a teacher, I need to find a way to reduce my foreign accent, to deliver good lessons and clear information to my students. This book is a very recommended tool, you only need time to practise and repeat as much as you can the different activities."
