Quotes

  • Chinh Nguyenhas quoted8 years ago
    eing good at any accent is about so much more than ‘having a good ear’. It is about using all your available senses to learn new skills, just as you did as a small child. For this reason we encourage you throughout the book to see, feel and hear the new accent.
