Rating:  - Excellent product
Before buying this book+CDs I thought I needed to refine my accent. After trying this product I realize that I have to improve a lot more (my accent, pronunciation, rithms, etc). The CDs are very helpful and go over a variety of topics. Buy it, you won't repent!

I have been living in the States for 10 years. I speak English well but I have a very thick accent. I invested in this guide and within a month my friends have noticed an improvement in my accent (I practiced for 15 min/day).
Beverly is obviously a great teacher with a lot of experience.
Thank you for making these affordable guide. I am very grateful.
