Latin American Accent Learning Materials

  • The Latin American accent materials include recordings of AccentHelp coaches Michelle Lopez-Rios and Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent. In addition, Michelle and Jim lead you through applying the accent to a practice monologue, explaining the sound changes and the intonations of various Latin American accents.
  • You will also hear the practice sentences and monologue read by native speakers from every Latin American country, plus notes and commentary on variations of intonation in those countries.
  • There are seven volumes of recordings of native speakers from the Caribbean, and North, Central and South America, plus Latin communities in the US. You'll also get a PDF transcript of their conversations so that you can follow along while you listen.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, plus three other versions of the book: a PDF file to print, MOBI for Kindle, and EPUB for other portable readers. 
  • All of the sound files are in MP3 format so that you can play them on your computer, load them onto your phone, or burn them to a CD.
  • You'll also get future updates for free!

All profits from these materials go to diversity scholarships for actors at the University of Houston.
