Description

NOTE: this version I recently found is a better quality rip divided into chronological sections per topics and are all in AVIs format. I’ts well-organized, and much more convenient to watch, albeit with a bigger size compared to the version here That version has different formats, and you can’t go to a specific section/topic as you wish but instead you will need to find it manually on each file. They are two totally different rips/files, hence not a dupe.http://anonym.to/?http://www.accurateenglish.comLisa Mojsin is the author of the book, “Mastering the American Accent,” and the creator of “The American Accent Course” DVDs.Ms. Mojsin has over 20 years of experience teaching accent reduction and communication skills to professionals from a variety of cultural backgrounds both in the US and overseas.  She speaks five languages and holds a Master Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, a post-baccalaureate in education and a Bachelor’s Degree in French with a minor in German from UCLA.  She has also studied in France and Germany.
