Automatic Fluency: Latin American Spanish for Conversation/Level One
Summary
Today, I am going to show you how to take your first big step towards really becoming conversationally fluent in Spanish. All it takes is a few minutes of your time every day to actually speak and understand authentic conversational Spanish and build fluency one lesson at a time. Please remember this: None of the language programs out there that you've been using are really focusing on fluency. Even the best language programs are pattern rich, but vocabulary and memory poor. They're focusing on making you feel good, and you go away speaking a couple of sentences that you may later forget entirely. I have a better system. A superior approach. It's called Automatic Fluency™. Using my Automatic Fluency™ programs does not "guarantee" fluency, but it does guarantee you the best fluency-building training in the industry. Yes. Only my Automatic Fluency® programs have the added advantage of real fluency building with vocabulary-rich memory-rich simplicity. They're all audio for maximum learning flexibility, all programs teach the same high frequency language that native speakers use, and all use my original spaced memory repetition that allows you to use your own creativity while enhancing your language memory. Just as important, only my Automatic Fluency® programs teach you more than enough high-frequency vocabulary to truly build fluency and enough interval memory practice to really make it stick. My unique proven fluency approach is built into each and every Automatic Fluency™ program. Conversational fluency-building features include: High frequency language—allows you to communicate faster Memory enhancing retrieval techniques—lets you remember the words while you learn Cutting edge original sentence creation techniques—speak your own mind in a comfortable way that is natural to you Mark Frobose—your multilingual English speaking language guide and teacher, explaining everything in English. Trained educated native Spanish speakers! Complete listening guide & free ebook included.

Get Rid of Your Accent: General American
Summary
This audiobook is a leading accent-reduction toolkit with practical exercises to master a general American accent. It contains explanations on how to form correct English sounds. The audiobook provides extensive practice with words, sentences, and funny verses. This audiobook is compact and easy to use with its 44 short lessons, each devoted to a single phoneme. For each phoneme, there is a list of words containing the target sound, a list of sentences, a few verses, a few tongue-twisters, and some articulation exercises. The more you listen, the better your pronunciation becomes, because you get a feeling for how words should be pronounced. After the listening phase, try to repeat as many times as you can: again, practice makes perfect! A bit every day is much better than a lot only once a week, so try to be consistent and your efforts will be repaid. You'll soon see that the right pronunciation will come perfectly naturally to you. The pluses are that you can study pronunciation whenever and wherever you are (during your commuting time, for example). Another useful feature is that the verses and tongue-twisters are a bit silly and very amusing, so you won't get bored!
