The Hollywood Tutor’s American English is a book designed to help people learn and pronounce English quickly and easily. Inside this book, the student will find lessons that include 20 different pronunciation keys, 24 different dialogues, and dozens of conversations, along with lists of essential and specialty words related to sports, business, fashion, science, and social issues such as racism, discrimination, and the environment. After more than 10 years of creating this book and incorporating student feedback, I have added fun sections such as astrological terms, animals, tongue twisters, and silent letters.
There is a complete #sports review including American Football, American Soccer, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Bicycle Parts, Boxing, Fitness, Workout and Nutrition terms, Golf, Gymnastics, Track & Field, Ping Pong, Pool: Eightball, Sailing and Nautical terms, Surfing, Swimming, and #Yoga. As part of Black Lives Matter, there are additional sections on racism and discrimination, as well as a section on American Heroes with biographies.
There are sections to help people with writing, including templates for term and thesis papers, sentences and paragraphs, research papers, biographies, the narrator’s voice, transitional phrases, a list of human emotions, synonyms, and figures of speech. There are two lists of colors for artists and for musicians, a list of composers and musical instruments. Regarding COVID-19, there are several sections: Terminology, Warning Signs, Etiquette, Dialogue, Emergency Room, and Symptoms.

This is the book used to tutor students from all around the world and combines all the content from books one and two. That’s 14 different lessons with more than 138,000 words. The difficulty ranges from elementary anchor words to complex multisyllabic terms. Some students might just read words; others might enjoy dialogues, have fun, and take their time.
