The American English Pronunciation Card: A Review of Sounds and Stress Patterns

By Michael Berman

Book Overview

The American English Pronunciation Card offers learners and teachers a clear, visual overview of how English sounds and stress patterns really work. This full-color reference chart introduces all major consonant and vowel sounds, grammatical endings, word stress, and sentence rhythm in one compact, easy-to-use format. Designed for both classroom and independent study, it brings pronunciation to life through high-frequency examples that reflect real, everyday English. Teachers can use it for quick, effective mini-lessons, while students can keep it handy for instant review or self-practice. Whether used as a teaching aid, a study guide, or a pronunciation "map," this resource helps learners understand--not just imitate--the patterns that make English sound natural and clear.
