I was looking for an English textbook to use in my university classes when I came across this book. Normally it is quite difficult to find a text covering a unique method which incorporates American pronunciation based on Japanese sounds. This book does the trick! Mr. Hyde Yano's ideas and method really manage to connect and crossover Japanese sounds to everyday spoken American English pronunication. I am now having tons of success with it. His method is fantastic! And I'm not kidding! With a little effort Japanese students will speak better than myself! If you are a bilingual and thinking of teaching EFL - this is a must! A 5 STAR KNOCKOUT BOOK!!!!!
This book was extremely interesting! 英語を教える側から見ても日本人が発音しやすいように工夫された法則を面白おかしく、大変覚えやすい方法で説明してある。 The methods given in this book are extremely 'unique'. It simplified the pronunciation of phrases that most Japanese have difficulty saying and using, and relating them to words they normally use in Japanese. Remembering the methods given in this book will make English conversation much more approachable. I truly recommend this book to not only Japanese readers who want to speak English with less difficulty, but also to those teaching English conversation. 英会話を楽しむためには必読の一冊ではないでしょうか？
For all readers out there who are teaching or interested in improving your English pronounciation, I have to say that this book provides some of the greatest methods in breaking the ENGLISH barrier. The way that haide uses his technique is simple. He takes Japanese words and phrases and makes them sound like English. The way he does it is just amazing because his method is so easy to comprehend! I myself as an English instructor use this book on a daily bases and can see a major improvement in my student's pronounciation and intonation. To sum it up, I highly recommend this phenominal book for those who seek a better way to learn the English language.
