Customized Pronunciation Program for Spanish Speakers

This is a wonderful program for Spanish speakers who want to improve their pronunciation of American English. A reviewer incorrectly wrote that there was no material in Spanish. This is far from the case. The book contains a Spanish Study Guide (20 full pages) written completely in perfect Spanish beginning on page 190 of the manual. It is very helpful to Spanish speakers who benefit further from reading some of the descriptions and explanations in their native language as well as in English. There are 2 C-90 cassette tapes that accompany the manual. They are full of the exercises and self tests that are contained in the manual. Unfortunately - not all the self tests are included in the tapes as that would necessitate additional cassettes making the cost of the program out of reach for most individuals. Also, many of the self tests were designed to be "visual" rather than auditory. This was done to challenge the learner even further. Answers to all self tests may be found in the appendix of the book. I hope this clarifies a previous reviewer's comments. Of course, I am very gratified that the reviewer found the quality of the material to be excellent. I am the coauthor of the program. .... Thanks so much.
