PronPack 6: Pronunciation of English for Brazilian Learners.

The two latest additions to the PronPack collection take a different approach, focusing on common difficulties faced by learners of English from specific language backgrounds.

Pronpack 5 focuses on common pronunciation difficulties faced by Spanish-speaking learners and  Pronpack 6 is specifically made for for Brazilian Portuguese-speaking learners. The teaching materials in both books include 18 lessons that attract learners’ attention with memorable activities including raps, games and puzzles.

“A key feature of the series is the graphic design. … high-gloss inventive infographics, thoughtfully-sized font, sufficient white space and clear, concise instructions…”

PronPack 1: Pronunciation Workouts are extended drills focusing on specific areas of English pronunciation. Think of them like the scales and other exercises which pianists use to improve their fingering technique. But in the case of pronunciation, it’s the vocal articulators which are getting trained – the tongue, lips, jaw and vocal chords.
