    About this audiobook

    More useful tips to help achieve a more professional level of speech.

    In Improve Your Speech – British English Level 2 we’ll build on the techniques you learned in Improve Your Speech – British English level 1.

    In Improve Your Speech – British English Level 2 we will help to take you even further, giving you helpful hints on how best to use your voice and tidy up your speech. You will discover the difference between ‘doing a Dracula’ and ‘talking Chutney’. You will meet ‘Pop’ and ‘Bob’, two characters who will help you with the gentle D and aggressive T. We’ll cover the knotty question of ‘To Spit or Not to Spit’ your Ts, and tackle even more common speech problems.

    The way we speak can say as much about us as the clothes we wear, the car we drive, or even the newspapers and magazines we read. Used properly, speech can help us to achieve a greater level of success.

    We live and work in a global market – but English is still regarded as the international language of business. Clear speech sends out the message ‘I am in control’ - inspiring confidence in those around you. Clear speech will help you to maximize your potential, making you a greater asset to your company and your profession.

    Improve Your Speech is aimed primarily at those who have British English as their first language, but it is also useful for those with English as their second language.

      An excellent second part to follow on from the first one. There is enough in both to ensure that repeated revisions and plenty of practice, practice, practice as the audiobooks suggest will get you speaking well and being heard better. I would recommend them in audiobook form as that is the best way to learn the sounds and the manner of their production in word production and sentence presentation.
