Effortless English: Flow English Lessons (eBook+Audio)

Title: Effortless English: Flow English Lessons
Author(s): A. J. Hoge and Chris Moses
Publisher: flowenglish.com
Size: 990 Mb
Format: PDF + MP3
Language: American English

Recommened! What Is The Best Way To Speak Excellent English?
Study grammar rules? No, the correct answer is, "Learn Core English Deeply". That is the key to excellent speaking. What is "Core English?" [+/-]


"Core" means center, or middle. Core English is the most common English. It's the most common words, phrases, idioms, and grammar that we use in conversations. To speak automatically, you must learn Core English very deeply.

Together, Flow English and Effortless English Lessons give you the perfect combination. You learn the most common idioms deeply. You learn 4-5 times faster than you did in school. You learn the past tense deeply. You speak even faster. Flow English gives you the most common spoken English. Effortless English builds more -- giving you more advanced speaking and listening.

Flow English uses the same great system as Effortless English :-
• Vocabulary Lessons
• Text and Audio Stories
• Listen & Respond Stories
• Commentaries.

Imagine yourself in a coffee shop, talking with an American. You are relaxed and smiling because you are communicating easily. The words come out quickly. You feel no stress, no doubt, no worry. You are a strong and respected English speaker. Your friends are surprised because you are speaking English so well. You can do it.

How Now, Brown Cow? A Course in the Pronunciation (Book+Audio)

Title: How Now, Brown Cow? A Course in the Pronunciation of English with Exercises and Dialogues
Author(s): Mimi Ponsonby
Publisher: Prentrice-Hall International
ISBN: 0134243269
Date: 1982
Pages: 133
Size: 140 Mb
Format: PDF + MP3
Quality: Very Good, readable
Language: British English

Audio Added! How Now, Brown Cow? is for use in a classroom, especially if you have access to a language laboratory. It's not necessary to know a lot of English before you begin, though it helps to know a little. The trouble with many people is that they get into bad habits, very often pronouncing English words like sounds of their mother tonguge, and the more fluently they speak, using all these incorrect sounds, the more difficult it is to get rid of them. So in a way, it will be easier for you if you don't know too much.

Written specially for students of American English, the dictionary contains almost 80,000 words and phrases, and covers all you need to know about American language and culture. Over 50,000 of these words give a real-life pronunciation, and there is a facility which allows you to record your own voice; so you can listen to the pronunciation given, record your own version, then see how it compares with the original.

Common Errors section
The Common Errors section will help you avoid common mistakes which many learners of English make. You can use it to help you with your homework, or to find out more about a word or phrase. Every entry in this section shows two examples of the word in use - one using it correctly, and one using it incorrectly.

There are 10 videos on the "Longman Interactive American Dictionary", each illustrating grammar and use in true-to-life situations. You can use the videos to extend your vocabulary, practise your listening comprehension and improve your written English. Each video has a script which scrolls down automatically as it plays, so you can follow the words as you hear them.

Exercises
To help you get the maximum from the "Longman Interactive American Dictionary", we have included over 500 specially written exercises concentrating on each of the main sections.

There are exercises to:
- see how well you have understood the dictionary entries
- test your knowledge of vocabulary and grammar
- give you practice in using words from the Common Errors section correctly
- help you get the most out of the pictures
- help you get the most out of the videos

Verbs
This section contains conjugations of all the verbs in the dictionary for all 'persons', and the most common tenses in both simple and progressive forms. You can use it to help you check your spelling and increase your grammatical accuracy.

Pictures
In this section, there are many attractive photographs and drawings to help you learn and remember new words. Each picture has the word being illustrated at the top, and some also have short descriptions of what is in the picture.

So, there's plenty on the "Longman Interactive American Dictionary" to keep you occupied and help you to learn English.
