If your Spanish accent is letting you down, Easy Learning Spanish Pronunciation is perfect for you. You'll see and hear how to soften the influence of your mother tongue and speak clear Spanish everyone will understand.

The booklet and audio CD will guide you through how to pronounce each sound and gives real-life examples of where these sounds are used. It will help you recognize why your native language makes you mispronounce certain sounds and which sounds you therefore need to focus on. There are also plenty of opportunities for you to practice the Spanish sounds while listening to the native Spanish speaker on the audio CD. One of the sections focuses on pronouncing items from a typical Spanish menu, so you can be sure you will always be understood. The booklet also contains illustrations of the mouth showing how to make Spanish sounds and memorable cartoons to help you remember pronunciation rules. In addition to teaching you how to pronounce Spanish words accurately, Easy Learning Spanish Pronunciation also covers the differences between the Spanish and English alphabet, stress and rhythm, the differences between accents within Spain and provides information on the differences between the Spanish spoken in Spain and Latin America.
