The Hollywood Tutor Presents After 9 Years and 22 Countries American English

The actual release

The Hollywood Tutor Presents After 9 Years and 22 Countries American English is Ready

Hollywood, CA, May 01, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Mitch Rubman has been tutoring accent reduction at a Hollywood café for the last nine years using his own book, American English. Now a GoFundMe campaign has been started to raise funds to help format and publish this 315-page book entitled The Hollywood Tutor’s American English.

From basic sounds to conversations, for beginners to the advanced, the book has been engineered to work at different levels with multiple exercises and a wide range of current topics.

Reading American English aloud is designed to activate all the voice muscles in the mouth and larynx removing restrictions to sounding clearer and being more accurate. This will reduce your accent quickly.

With easy to use phonetic guides that help to clarify and make English sounds more understandable the book follows a natural progression from basic sounds to words to sentences.

Students are often amazed and surprised when they learn to pronounce words with silent letters. The book presents many specialty groups and dialogues including baseball, citizenship, basketball, the home, soccer, nutrition, the job interview, exercise, swimming, antonyms, astrology, automobile parts, technology, medical, and corporate slogans.

As an author the time has come to wrap it up and publish. It took nine years to finish. 
Mitch Rubman has an MA from Antioch University in Clinical Psychology and a BA in Planetary and Space Sciences from Boston University.
