About this listen
Did you know that learning the 1,000 most frequently used words will familiarize you with 87.8 percent of all vocabulary used in every day conversation? That is almost 88 percent of all conversations that you’ll have. This is wonderful news! Because if you can master the pronunciation of these frequently used words, then you will sound like a native speaker in no time!
Instead of concentrating on the countless rules (and exceptions to those rules) of the English language, you will be focusing on the essentials that will get you up to speed and speaking in a polished manner - and having fun while doing it.
Studies show that we can boost information retention in our long-term memory when we....
- Hear the information multiple times
- Speak the information aloud, and
- Pear the information in context
The Polished Pronunciation Practice course combines all three of these techniques to create a powerhouse memory method that will help you easily recall the proper pronunciation of each of the words. You’ll also enjoy a short story that incorporates all of the words you’ll be learning and perfecting. The story is suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed by everyone.
Whether you are a young child, 99 years old...or anywhere in between, this program is for YOU! Empower yourself to reach your language learning goals and add this title to your library right now!

Story
After years of teaching intermediate students who never seemed to improve, I decided to find out what the problem was. Essentially, intermediate students get stuck because learning at this stage is a different type of learning than at the beginner stage. You have mastered the grammar and the basic vocabulary, but most textbooks just carry on like nothing has changed. However, what you need at the intermediate stage is not just more dry grammar and lists of vocabulary.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Sure, you can learn English with a language course or a textbook just fine, and climb up the ranks in terms of your grasp of the language....but are you sure you can talk like a native? For starters, many expressions used by fluent speakers of English can’t exactly be learned in a book, and it can be frustrating to realize that your formal learning hasn’t been enough to teach you the way people talk in real life. Sometimes, it’s all about having the right tools at your disposal...and this is where The Great Book of American Idioms comes in!
