My apologies to all who have e-mailed me. Because of my killer schedule, it would take some time before I can reply. But I do try to reply as best as I can. Just be patient with me because I get like 50 letters a week asking about American accent training alone. For those who want to take my phonetics class, just e-mail me and we can talk more about the details. It might be better to form a group of up to 10 people so you could share the cost. I usually hold my classes in a hotel function room. For those who need a quicker reply, include your contact details in your e-mail so I can call you.

By the way, "Fil-Ams" Arvin Gatmaitan and Chris (check their posts in this thread) and myself have already hooked up and we're planning something big. In fact, Arvin and I are currently working on an ESL project. As for the book needed for accent training, Ann Cook's book is good (I also use it for reference), although I found some entries and exercises to be not so useful and effective. I believe an update is necessary to incorporate new approaches to ESP.

Ooops, forgot to log in. That was my post. - Teacher Eric

hi, all!

this will seem weird: it took me more than 2 years to finally create an account here in englishforums.com since i posted, as a "guest" (back then), about the american accent (post : 54528).

my apologies to those who sent me emails asking to be tutored.  if you are not in the philippines, then i would not have been able to give you much more than just advice.

anyway, i'm just making myself known here.  now that my introduction is out of the way, let me greet my colleague, teacher eric.  ok, bro.  i finally remembered to do this!  

looking forward to 'reading' from you all,

arvin
