This is the sequel to Coursebook One, "The American Accent Learnway - Cross the Bridge, Over the Divide". It is the second of a three Coursebook series. It is followed by Coursebook Three, "The American Accent Learnway - As One, On the Summit". Together, with the preceding Vocal Pattern Bridge Table in Coursebook One and the Vocal Pattern Summit Table that follows in Coursebook Three, the Inland Table in this Coursebook will provide you with the means to diagnose your own Accent by identifying the Vocal Patterns you vocalize differently than Americans. In so doing, you will create a personal Development Plan, targeting these for relearning, the American way. Also, with the Bridge and Summit Vocal Pattern Tables, the Inland Table will serve as an integrated, comprehensive "Look-Up" of Distinctive Vocal Patterns for your anytime reference and continued learning, enabling you to retrain your Accent. The Inland Table covers 200 very Distinctive Vocal Patterns, said in the American Accent - compared with the British. They are "Substantially" Distinctive and thus make a big impact on Accent. In terms of level of Distinctiveness, these Vocal Patterns fall between the most Distinctive covered in the Bridge Table and the clearly Distinctive covered in the Summit Table. While Coursebook One, takes you most of the way, this Coursebook Two builds on your earlier progress to take you almost all the way. Coursebook Three will then address closure of yet remaining significant gaps.

Autorenporträt
I grew up in India where I went through most of my education. Though my parents came from different language backgrounds, the language spoken at home was English. My mother learned English at a Convent School in Bombay from Irish teachers. My father qualified at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, becoming, in his career, the Legal Director for a multi-national organization, and later, the Principal of a Law College. Other influences included schooling at British schools for expatriates in India and subsequent schooling in the Indian Public School system. My mind was opened to the subject of Linguistics while at college. After a Bachelor's degree in English & Psychology, and then, a Master's degree in Sociology, both from Bombay University, I went on to have a career in Human Resource Management & Consulting with well known companies in India, the Middle East and the United States. I continued my education, along with my profession. In India, my learning from a two year foundation course for a doctoral level program in Human Resource Development contributed greatly to the scientific approach underlying the development of the American Accent Learnway¿. After moving to the United States in 2003, I earned a Master of Science Degree in Human Resource Management from Golden Gate University, in San Francisco. Over the course of my life, exposure to the diverse Accents of English across the world, the phonetics of other languages, and subsequently, to the English spoken in America, also provided relevant background for this work. I see that the present work called upon all that I have learned as a student in the areas of Human sciences and Language, and as a Human Resource Development professional. It required learning about what is knowledge, - and how to create it. The excitement of this pursuit was also important. From the beginning, I saw the purpose as bold. It was actually a much bigger adventure than I anticipated, with many unknowns to consider along the way. What has been most personally satisfying is that it all conforms with fact. I believe it will be useful for many people. I am keen that everyone who is interested in speaking the American way see what has been learned. For me, both the journey and what it revealed has been fascinating. All Rights Reserved. Copyright © published 2021 by Adil Rehman.
