Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-10 00:00:00 Robin Godfrey I first stumbled on this around 1967. Intended for actors, it uses its own phonetic system which back then I found easier than IPA or something more current. I found the chapter on Australian and Cockney dialects especially interesting. Many of the accents are broad stage versions rather than attempts at serious linguistic/phonetic analysis, but it's a very good choice for beginning acting students. Readers/students should be aware that nothing gets outdated quicker than slang and considering the age of this book, those attempting British accents will sound more like David Niven than Harry Potter.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-01 00:00:00 Darryl Sherman Learned my first dialect from this book: Irish for Playboy of the Western World.
