5.0 out of 5 stars The Best I could find in bookshops!, Jan 26 2003
By A Customer
I love it! This is my favourite companion to turn to when I get
stuck in uncertain pronunciations. If you're a person who likes
Received Pronunciations, then Longman Pronunciation Dictionary
is absolutely a handy and desktop reference for you.
Just browse this book everyday, you'll sound more RP daily.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Actors, Mar 4 2001
By A Customer
The Longman Pronunciation Dictionary is a highly useful tool for performing artists of the English Language. I take it with me from gig to gig and use it in rehearsals. It helps to have an understanding of the International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA) but the sound key in the introduction will guide you through its use.
