Greek Accent Learning Materials

  • The Greek accent materials include recordings of AccentHelp coach Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, with additional audio from coach Carolyn Johnson. Jim also leads you through applying the accent to a practice monologue.
  • There are about two hours of recordings of native speakers, along with a PDF transcript of their conversations so that you can follow along.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, plus three more formats 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 receive a link via email so that you can download all of the materials as ZIP files directly to your computer.
  • You'll also get future updates for free!
