this review is not going on my bookstagram lol but miss kenworthy kinda went off with this one!!! yes it’s very much written in the 80s and VERY british but it’s clear and concise and helpful! kinda weird to only talk about canto and hokkien speakers in the chinese section when mandarin is so much more prevalent across the sinosphere but i guess this was before china was open so maybe most of the chinese speakers coming to britain to learn english were from hong kong and singapore

Excellent handbook to have handy if asked some of the weird & wonderful pronunciation 'rules' in English & some useful activites to help students.. It would get 5 stars if updated with MP3 listenings and an uplift.. can't believe that such a practical work was last printed in 1987!!
