The best single tool to improve pronunciation and reduce accent - Chris E, May 27, 2008
I would highly recommend pronunciation patterns to anyone looking for a single resource to significantly improve pronunciation and reduce accent. As a foreigner, speaking clearly without being asked to repeat what i said is really important, if not critical and that is where this software comes in. A few weeks of using this software helped me correct many sounds and improved my oral communication.
That said, i must state that just buying the software does not make you improve your pronunciation unless you are ready to put in time required in learning the rules and tips carefully put together in this amazing software. Though the inventor suggested at least 15 minutes practice daily, i would suggest at least 1 hour initially and then 30 minutes daily after some level of comfort. This can come down to 15 minutes after a few months. In my opinion, the key to improving pronunciation and reducing accent with this software is practice, practice, practice!!!!
There are so many tools bundled with this software to assist with the practice. This will reduce the time to see positive results and improve your confidence in public speaking.

Complete Program - Ali Aw Yuusuf, Apr 17, 2008
I would recommend Pronunciation Pattern program to anyone who wants to learn how to pronunce english.I been using lots of different programs in the past and and I quit each one of them becaue they made pronuncing english more harder than it was.Even,if i spent long time to study i gained very little.However Pronunciation Pattern helped me tremondously and i can't mention everything in this short paragraph.It abled me learning to speed of my english pronunciation very quickly.It has been a couple months since i got the program and i can say I learned more than i expected.Also,lessons are presented in a clear logical manner.It is very easy to see and visualize the steps u take so you don't confuse what is what etc.Moreover,It is a complete program where you learn everything there is to know starting how to pronunce letter, words until u get the confidence you need to speak english fluently.The last but not the least,the people who work at Pronunciation Pattern are professional and helpful.I called twice and each time my problems were solved happily.:-)

recommended - Marcmarc, Feb 26, 2008
To me the program has proved to be very helpful, even though I haven't exactly followed the proposed lessons. I have used the software according to my own "plan". Firstly, I identified my main problem areas and kept working on them - over and over again. I started out with what I would call the "parrot mode" (first listen and then repeat) and then, after a while, spoke out the words loudly and then checked my pronunciation. Secondly, I systematically began "revising" all 4000 words, since I noticed that even though I know a lot of words and theoretically know all the English vowels and consonants (and how to pronounce them), I have not always learned the correct pronunciation.
This process has been quite time consuming (and I am still working on it) but I think this was my key to success. You should make it a habit to work on your weak points on a daily basis. If English is not your native language, I guess perseverance and the right tool is key unless you belong to that happy 1% who can "imitate" every dialect or language.
The cost might seem high but looking up every word and the respective pronunciation would be too tedious for me.
To sum it up, the product is a great and very helpful tool but you have to invest some time and motivation.

A must product to improve Pronunciation - Terry, Feb 26, 2008
This is a very good software and it improved my pronunciation in a very short time. A lot of new words to learn.
Further, customer service is amazing. I had some problems with installation, however, every problem was solved by their customer service. Great!

Pronunciation Patterns is a great spoken english self-taught material. - Hao L, Dec 25, 2007
I got the PP weeks ago and have been using it since then. I just love it because of a lot of reasons:
1. Systemmatically teach me the American Phonetic Alphabet that I missed when I started to study English. It helps me correct many pronunciation errors;
2. The more practice by following the sound of each word, the more confident and comfortable to communicate with people in English;
3. It is a effective and convenient approach to study, especially I have to work in the day time;
4. It is not boring at all, actually it is fun;
5. Quick and satisfactory supports from the company;
6. I wish I could find the material years ago;
I think the only drawback is that I have to insert the CD to play even if I install it to my computer.
