[Soledad Blanco Conesa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is divided into 5 sections:
Section A: Introduction
Section B: Pronunciation of words and phrases (it includes consonant clusters, stress and foreign words)
Section C: Pronunciation in conversation (it includes features of connected speech, prominence and intonation)
Section D: Pronunciation in formal settings
Section E: Reference
This book is for self-study since it contains the keys. I also bought the 5 CDs, which are very useful if you want to listen to native speakers (although you will find speakers of English as a second language too). I liked the book, specially Sections B and C because they dealt with topics that I studied at university. I'd recommend this book to advanced learners who need to improve their pronunciation, specially if they are future teachers or translators in their second year at university.
