{"product_id":"2940154552094","title":"Mastering Pronunciation of a Foreign Language: For Independent Language Learners","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn my ebook Mastering Pronunciation of a Foreign Language : For Independent Language Learners, I look at the problem of learning spoken language a little differently than they do in most published courses. And I try to solve it in two specific ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne is that I break down spoken language into two fundamental features that you need to identify and begin to use in order to pronounce it correctly and speak with a good accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery language course introduces you to the first of those fundamental features, but they don't really follow up on it as they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the second? They hardly ever even mention it!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's not necessary to understand this feature in order speak a language at a basic level, but it's absolutely essential to develop a really good accent. Understanding this can give you the key to improving pronunciation to master-level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other way I approach learning spoken language is that I view learning to speak as actual physical training. When you learn a new language, you must use your mouth, lips, tongue, cheeks, heck even your breathing differently in order to speak properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can't simply be introduced to a few new sounds of a language and then speak it like a native. It just doesn't work that way. There are tons of subtle differences in many of the sounds you must make when learning a language. And putting it all together to try to sound good requires a lot of focused effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost courses will tell you that, but won't give you a real path to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn my ebook, I outline a three-step process that does just that. I show how to use two simple techniques that allow you to work toward an outstanding accent that will impress the natives and stun other learners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer - I said simple because these techniques are simple to understand. But they're not easy. They require a lot of work. But if you've read this far, I know you're the kind of serious language learner that can benefit from this!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone can learn how to do these techniques and you can use them throughout your study of a language and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd if you've already studied a language before and just want to fix your flawed accent? You can do that, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beauty in this process is that it can be used alongside any other course that you're studying from. In fact, it isn't even a course so much as a complementary process of techniques that anyone can use with just about any language at any point in their learning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upshot is that if you understand these basic principles, and use these techniques, you can develop your pronunciation more efficiently and faster than the typical approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt won't cost more than a few extra dollars at most and you can even do this right from the beginning of studying a language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn fact, you will have even better results if you do this from the beginning!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing these techniques results in improved pattern recognition with regards to word order, verb forms, and noun cases, easier vocabulary recognition and memorization, better parsing skills, and improved overall listening skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMastering your pronunciation as you learn the language makes the entire language learning journey a better and more successful one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronald Tichenor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122766627056,"sku":"2940154552094","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154552094_p0.jpg?v=1764115600","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154552094","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
