The Speechphone Method: American Speech Sounds and Rhythm, Elementary

In 1959, Folkways Records released a series of four spoken-word recordings developed by speech specialist Hazel P. Brown to help speakers correctly pronounce words in the English language. The first three sets, subtitled “American Speech Sounds and Rhythm,” were structured into three learning levels—Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. The fourth recording was subtitled “Spoken Word List.” This is the first in the series and is designed for foreign-born students who can read and understand basic English but struggle to make themselves easily understood. The complete lesson text accompanies the recording.
