Amazing Confidence
That's Easy For You To Say instills confidence in any Pastor or Teacher with word pronunciation. I teach Bible Study quite frequently and when the text is filled with difficult words, I can feel the congregation waiting to see if I will pronounce the word correctly, or trip all over it. When you use the CD, and the program pronounces the word for you, you are no longer guessing, you have ...

Very handy - and small!
Everyone who's serious about learning operatic repertoire must have a pronounciation guide. This book was a little smaller than I expected but surprisingly handy. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this one is great for the price!

Great for Homeopaths
I had a previous copy of this little dictionary which finally fell apart on me and I use it all the time. Since it is a very old version it has most of the words used in the Materia Medicas and Repertories that one might want to look up. Much better than having to search on the internet or trying to look up in Medical Dictionaries. Highly recommended.

Having trouble with Bible Names????
This is not a story book, but rather a key to pronouncing the names. They are the word with the appropriate pronounciation marks (some bibles have these, but not many), then a phoenetic spelling as it sounds. There are diversities of translations and distinctives of versions. This includes King James, New Amrican Standard, New International, Revised Standard and Today's English. It is ...

A Fun Dictionary
This dictionary is fun because it takes you back to a simpler time. A time when a word had a meaning and not innuendo. The maps are interesting as well because it's not everyday most of us see a map of the world before WW II.

A critically important and strongly recommended addition
The most common language problem encountered by non-native speakers when using English is their heavily accented pronunciation of the words. Now with "Accent America! Essentials" non-native speakers can benefit from the exercises on the five audio CDs and the explanations in the accompanying 136-page Guide Book. Non-native speakers will lean why people may misunderstand what they say and what to ...

good, but needs a companion
Like the other review say, the entries really are very useful, and the introduction is great for quickly reminding yourself about grammar and pronunciation. However, for someone beginning in Norwegian you need an English-Norwegian source also. I'm now browsing to find one! Great book, but it needs a companion dictionary!

Excelent book to teach or to learn English phonetics
I have found this book very clear and easy to follow by anyone wishing to improve his English pronunciation. The examples and exercises are excellent, specially the contrast ones. The explanations and practices about stress and intonation are very useful and easy to understand. This book was given to me without the tapes which I have not been able to get. I am sure that these tapes are a ...

Excellent resource
I found this book to be very detailed and a fascinating resource. The vast majority of words I needed to look up were in there. Anything else can be found in the OED. I especially enjoyed the comparison between pronunciations in the UK, Canada and US.

Exactly what I needed
What a dandy little book! In only 96 pages, it gives both preferred and permissible pronounciations of about three thousand people and place names taken from the NRSV Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament. T.S.K. Scott-Craig uses a clear, easily comprehensible re-spelling system to indicate pronunciation. There are no phonetic symbols, only accent marks that show the stressed syllables. ...

Great resource!
I have used this book with many foreign accent modification clients. Clients have especially liked practicing with the CDs. The vowels are color-coded--very clever! Sarah Hoefflin also went the extra step of separating each vowel sound into its various spellings. I highly recommend this resource and plan to continue to use it with clients.

Delighted to find English-Chinese with Bo-Po-Mo
Given the popularity of the Yale series books for learning Chinese in the USA, this dictionary is a real find. In my course of instruction, we are using the Yale series with Yale romanization, but migrating to Bo-Po-Mo (Zhuyin-Fuhao), as part of our progression to reading/writing Chinese. What great fortune to find this dictionary that has both systems! Yes, some words are dated, but this is the ...
