Title in English: English or Czenglish: Pronunciation
English or Czenglish: Pronunciation builds on Don Sparling’s classic and widely respected English or Czenglish, which focuses on common errors in grammar and vocabulary, by addressing the one element that has so far been missing: pronunciation. In this area, too, Czech speakers, including many highly proficient users of English, often make avoidable mistakes stemming from the speech habits of their native language. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the pronunciation features that Czech learners most commonly struggle with. It explains why these difficulties arise, how they can affect intelligibility, and what learners can do to overcome them. Each chapter also includes practical exercises designed to reinforce newly acquired knowledge and skills. The publication is intended for students and teachers, language enthusiasts, and the general public, as well as for professionals working in academia, science, technology, business, services, and the creative industries who wish to communicate more effectively and confidently in spoken English. Purchase of the printed edition includes access to the e-book version, enhanced with almost two and a half hours of accompanying audio material.
