Designed by Ann Cook, author of the best-selling American Accent Training, AAT is an amazingly easy way to learn the American accent. It’s perfect for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. This is the least expensive way available!
In common speech, most Americans use one-syllable words, but you still need to know the difference between OBject (noun) and obJECT (verb). This is excellent practice for TOEFL and TSE. ESL instructors will find this to be a great way to pick up the basics of teaching the American accent.

Buyer
Save your money and just search syllable division on the web. However, it does offer a nice word list of
syllables. Read description carefully it might be a nice read - it is short.
Big Help for ESL Students
As an English teacher, I've often been asked why syllable stress is so random in English. When you think of PHOtograph, phoTOgrapher and photoGRAPHic, I can see why ESL students are confused. It turns out that there are a couple of simple rules, so with syllable stress out of the way, students can then focus on the other aspects of English.
Record button is not available on iPod
The recording option is a very useful funtion and should be available on iPod also.
