I'll be presenting on "Making a Difference... in Pronunciation" on April 30 at the 29th APPI Conference in Lisbon, Portugal.
The presentation will be about my e-dictionary.

Here's a part of the abstract:
"Pronunciation Made Easy, an e-dictionary, is always handy whether at the click of the mouse or touch of the screen. It's intuitive and learner-friendly. It's targeted at beginners. But also at intermediate learners. And it's full of useful words."


I will upload the presentation to Slideshare soon after and will share the link here.

One of the most useful and user-considerate hints I read was that e-books need to be read across different platforms - pdf and epub formats are the most widely read -, and need to be reflowable, meaning the text size and formatting adapt to the screen size. Reflowability was something that was always in the back of my mind, because I found it so user-friendly, especially when reading in the iPhone. Things have been changing fast lately and many platforms now provide previews across devices such as PCs and smartphones. And many websites that I visit regularly have become reflowable. It’s perfectly obvious when reading in the iPhone. 

This concept of reflowability led me to search through many pdf e-books to see if any included the feature. Unfortunately not, not even when reading in the Acrobat Reader app. The font is usually quite small, so what I do is turn the phone horizontally and pinch the screen to adjust the text size. Not practical. Unfortunately, the same happens in my dictionary.

After months of hard, but very enjoyable work, Pronunciation Made Easy is out and just a click away.
It was published earlier today, Sep. 6, on the 53rd anniversary of a four-year move to the States, a life-changing experience for me.
To get a free sample or buy the dictionary, click the e-Dictionary tab (above).
I hope it will be a very useful tool for Portuguese-speaking students to learn to pronounce many common English words in an easy and fun way.
And I hope that other languages will also try to bridge the L1 and L2.
Thank you to my Radical English colleagues and friends for encouraging me to carry out this project! :-)
