Patsy Rodenburg is the leading acting coach in the UK (she has worked with Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen and Cate Blanchett). Patsy has discovered the principles of speech in theatre apply extremely effectively when transferred into the workplace. Do you want to be more persuasive? Do you want to enthuse and inpsire and feel good whenever you present or speak in public? This practical programme will make you as effective as Judi Dench is on screen in every meeting, pitch and conversation in person or on the phone. You will learn how to impress your boss without being overbearing, connect with people if you are introvert and you will have true confidence in all your communication. There are practical exercises and example throughout and Patsy's results are amazing.

This book examines how a new dialect emerges. It is based on empirical research carried out in Waumandee, Wisconsin, a small community set in a linguistically uncharted territory in North America. Waumandee English is influenced by the native languages of settlers who arrived from different parts of Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Poland, Austria and Ireland. Traditional dialectology augmented by sociolinguistic and psychological parameters enables the reader to follow the path of current dialect emergence in Waumandee English.

A zany yokel called Goober conducts his fellow Americans on a far-ranging but introspective jaunt through their own informal speech and everyday jargon. Foreigners are invited to tag along with the promise of gaining insight into the mysteries of the American way of speaking. Let The Goob take you on a wacky tour of the spoken American street! Climb aboard this exposé-cum-guidebook for a merry romp through our everyday lingo. See how jolly it is to poke good-natured fun at the way we talk! This ain't what our English teachers taught us! Not by a long shot! Crack the cover and you won't need cajoling to dive right into the first page-turner exposé of our native tongue! And try to find the two misspellings! The clue to one is "a king" and the clue to the other is "into the future." And when you're finished? Son of a gun! There was some pretty good book-larnin' in there! By saying he is a zany yokel, the polar opposite of a pedantic English instructor! By pointing to the magic of speaking up to the reader, not down at the reader! The Goob sez: Even literary agents could find this book useful!
