Wow, they don't give you much room in the subject field here. I tried to fit "Has anyone tried "Pronounce it Perfectly in ___"? but it wouldn't even come close to fitting.
Anyway, has anyone used these? I did a search for "pronounce it perfectly in" but it said "no results returned." Are they good programs for accent reduction in your target language? Thanks. edit - is the search function broken? I searched for "Pronounce perfectly" again after I made this thread and it still said "no results." Hmm...

I seem to remember that I tried it out for Japanese, and that it didn't do much. I may be confusing it with something similar sounding. Perhaps you can try it out before you buy it.

I'm working with their French CDs. It's a decent 3 disk package with native speakers and good examples. My only criticism is my peevishness about having unnecessary English on a language learning audio program.
There was a Pronounce it Perfectly in Japanese sold by Barron's in the 90's, but unless it has been recently updated, I would not recommend it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

That's the one I was interested in. Why wouldn't you recommend it? They need to make a Korean one. Korean pronunciation still kills me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I have Pronounce it Perfectly in Russian. I haven't used it yet. I had a similar program from Russia but couldn't play the cassettes so I got this one. My hard and soft L still need work and it won't hurt for me to practise all the sounds.

I also have Pronounce It Perfectly in Russian. I've heard very good reviews about it but have not begun to use it. I plan to after a get a good base of knowledge first. It is widely available on p2p resources.

It's not a criticism of the program, it's just there are so many programs coming out of Japan right now that I don't see any reason to spend time with it. If you have it already or can get it for cheap though, by all means. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||
