SOUNDS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH:
American English has 40 sounds, many of which are similar in other languages. But many are not similar and they need to be learned and practiced to sound like a native American English speaker.
Two programs have been developed to help students learn to pronounce American English. Learn Clear English teaches the correct pronunciation of American English in 8 lessons with 120 exercises. This program is for students who have a basic vocabulary in English.
Speak Clear English teaches both the sounds of American English and how to read English. This program is for the beginning student who is learning to read and speak American English at the same time. It is for beginning readers. It also works well with students who are having reading problems or are developmentally disabled.
