Pronunciation Made Easy (for short) was "born" as an e-dictionary due to the encouragement of my dear Radical friends in November 2012 when we met f2f for the first time in England. Thank you all! :-)
It's based on a very simple strategy that occurred to me in class one day in Jan. 2003: using Portuguese sounds to help students pronounce English words. As Judy Thompson puts it, it's a strategy that "bridges the L1 and L2". Absolutely!
It's a different approach to pronunciation that was tried and tested in class with hundreds of students and worked wonders. The students were amazed at how easy it was and how well it worked.
It's an e-book, because the idea is for it to be just a click or a touch away from any Portuguese-speaking learner of English that needs help with pronunciation.
