This book and audio CD, written by Amy Gillett, is one of several books on idioms. It is an excellent self-study resource for learning idioms and expressions that are commonly heard in the workplace. The 30 manageable lessons include dialogues to hear the expressions in context and to listen to the pronunciation. Examples, definitions, and multiple choice quizzes are included in each unit. This is a wonderful supplement to our accent modification products. Check it out

Hello Everyone,  

 

We hope you have kicked off the summer season in style. We wish you a fun-filled, happy, and healthy break. We will "see" you again in September. 

In the News

  
We will have an exhibit booth at the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) annual convention this September in Boston. If you know anyone attending this conference, tell them to stop by.
Product Updates 

 

RULES BY THE SOUNDGreat news! We are in the process of setting up audio components for the RULES BY THE SOUND stories. It will be available in an online platform, whereby subscribers can hear each story sentence by sentence, and then record their productions and compare them to the native speaker's model. Three-month and annual subscriptions will be offered and subscribers can select groups of stories, e.g., R-controlled vowels, fricatives, etc.

We are very excited about this new format and expect it to be ready this summer. We will make an announcement to all of you on our mailing list, so stay tuned!

 

Our Medically Speaking materials (Medically Speaking, Medically Speaking RULES, and Medically Speaking Idioms) are currently being adapted for an online platform as well. Look for it in the Fall!
