Pronunciation Book NOW AVAILABLE!!

It is June 9, 2015, and today is the day that my book, American English Pronunciation, is

available. I’ve been working for months on this book. It’s 290 pages, and each page

is going to help you speak better American English. You’re going to understand what

you hear better, when you’re listening to Americans, and you’re going to feel more

comfortable making the sounds and speaking in the character of American English.

American English can be pretty hard. A lot of words are not pronounced the way that they

look like they should be pronounced. That’s frustrating. But in this book, we’re going

to solve a lot of those mysteries for you so that you get it.

Maybe you’ve seen one of my videos before and thought, “this is great, but how does

it fit into the bigger picture? Where should I start?” This book is for you. It takes

over 200 of my videos and organizes them into a system, into a map to help you get form

where you are to where you want to be with your spoken American English.

This book has everything you need to know from sounds to rhythm and intonation, the

character of American English, words that reduce, content words, and of course, lots

of American English conversation. This book talks about placement and how to imitate.

One of my favorite things about this book is that you’ll learn concepts together.

It’s an integrated approach. So you don’t learn just the sounds, then just a little

bit about rhythm and so on, but you learn everything together. When you’re learning

sounds, you’re learning about placement. And you’re definitely learning about rhythm

and stress because when you learn a sound, you learn what it’s like in a stressed syllable,

and what it’s like in an unstressed syllable. I can’t see any other way to teach them.

In addition to the videos, there are over 150 audio files with both male and female

voices. So, there’s a lot of content to work with, both for listening practice and

for repetition practice. And that is truly what is so important. That is what will transform

your pronunciation. Some of the audio files are slowed down. That’s really important

because you start to listen to them in a different way, and you’re going to notice things about

them that you couldn’t notice at regular pace.

So, it’s a complete system to speak better English, supported by 200 videos and 150 audio

files. It’s truly my best work: buy it! You'll love it, and you’ll speak better English.

If you buy the book, you get free updates for life. So anytime I make a change to the

book or add more audio, you’ll get it free. Go to RachelsEnglish.com/book. And now I’m

going to take you on a little tour of how to buy the book, and how best to use the materials

that you’ll get.

To buy the book, simply go to the sales page and click “Get the Book!” This takes you

to Gumroad, where the file is hosted for sale. Click the button “I want this!” This takes

you to the payment page. Enter your information. You can either pay with credit card or PayPal.

And, complete your purchase. You’ll be sent an email that has a link to download the PDF

Gumroad website by clicking ‘read’. But, it’s best viewed from an application that

allows you to view the bookmarks. For example, Firefox. You can simply drag the file into

a page in Firefox, and it will load their PDF viewer. This button here will allow you

you can click this button to see the Table of Contents. That allows you to skip around

from chapter to chapter. Click on any link in blue to open the webpage.

There are 165 audio files that have been broken up into four different zip files. You can

download them here after clicking the link ‘View Product’ in your email. Remember,

these are zip files. So don’t download them to your mobile device. But download them to

your computer to unzip. Then you can put the audio files on any of your devices.

I can’t wait to hear what you think of the book. That’s it, and thanks so much for
