Incredibly useful and spot-on
Does what it says without waffle and filler, nor by repeating the same generic exercises available elsewhere. It concisely and accurately identifies pronunciation difficulties specific to most Chinese speakers of English and provides simple, practical solutions. I currently teach Chinese medics and medical students how to improve their English pronunciation and finding this was a treasure - it works.

Improving all the time.
I speak Mandarin and find this download really helps me to form sounds in English and unravel my chinglish:) I have another audio book by the same author/narrator, and I disagree with the reviewer who said he sounds British. I work in NYC and he doesn't sound British to me or my British friends. He sounds friendly and educated like my boss, and he's from Philadelphia!

American English?
American English as explained by someone with a British accent. Seems a little shady at first listen.
