Lose Your Accent in 28 Days

By Krisztina Alapi - November 13, 2004

In spite of the fact that I am a professor of English with 8 years of teaching experience and that I have been living in Canada for 4 years, people kept asking me the question: "Where are you from?" on a daily basis. It was my accent that always gave me away. However, having done the exercises in "Lose Your Accent in 28 Days" people no longer ask me about my origins. I learned in a very easy way the proper pronunciation of those critical sounds that posed difficulty for me. I especially liked the CD-ROM that comes with the workbook as it is extremely easy to use and very straightforward in presenting, through pictures, the correct placement of the jaw, lips and tongue when articulating vowels and consonants. Highly recommended.

It worked!

I was tired of being asked where I was from the moment I opened my mouth and of being treated as a tourist in what I consider my own country now. Then I found this toolkit and it did miracles - people no longer ask me where I'm from, I am at much more ease to express myself and I feel much happier and more accepted.

Here is how I used this material to achieve my results. I spend about 1.5 hours every day (now I'm down to about an hour) doing all the vowel exercises, where my geatest difficulties are. Each day I do ALL vowel exercises (takes less than an hour) and a few other exercises. I've been doing this for a couple months now, even though I got the desired results within a month. The tough part is that if I skip just one day my accent comes back - to a much lesser extent, but enough to be asked where I'm from. So, I guess it will take a while.

BEST thing for pronunciation!!! Really Works.

By Primadona - June 17, 2007

I actually ordered this book from amazon but it was gonna take forever to ship so i cancelled ordered from b&n instead. of course it's now on sale so now is the best time to get it.

I'm more like an advanced english speaker. I'm the kind who writes well and gets A+ in my college english comp classes. I have spoken english ever since i was 6 yrs old but of course i didn't live here and even when i came here, people said oh, your english is very good and they'll often ask how long i've spoken english. However, people could still tell i have an accent. And i do. Its always, the "where are you from?" or the "you have a lovely accent." for some it's more of "you have a LITTLE accent."
I got this book and i'll say i haven't been using it as recommended, i mean i practice a day or 2 and don't pick up again till 15days later. First of all, this book complements Ann cooks american accent training, which is great with the intonation.

Anyhow, when it comes to... read more
