By Y. Zhao

This book consists of three sets of exercises and a discussion of themispronunciations frequently made by foreign learners (especially thosewhose mother tongues are Germanic languages). Characteristics of this bookare: 1) it targets the problem areas, so that the learners can avoidspending equal effort on everything; 2) it points out the typical mistakesto the learners, so that they can try to avoid these traps; and 3) thereare listening exercises of sound and tone discrimination, which may, onthe one hand, make the learners aware of the nuances in pronunciation, andhelp them be their own teachers in watching out for theirmispronunciations; and on the other hand, provide a chance for the learnerto rest their voice while still practising, which helps avoid voicestrain, often occuring during the first lessons of pronunciation.
