Sounds Clear is designed for intermediate to advanced Korean learners and teachers of English, wanting to improve their teaching and learning of pronunciation drastically. It aims to build up the confidence of speaking English by identifying the pronunciation patterns of native English speakers, namely that of North American speakers, and replicating these patterns confidently and effectively.

- Sounds Clear targets challenging aspects of pronunciation by providing clear explanations of concepts and activities for improvement.
- Appropriate for both classroom use and self-study, students are motivated and encouraged to practice their skills through various engaging aural, oral and written exercises, thus allowing students to tailor their approach to practicing pronunciation to suit them.
- Pronunciation Tips throughout the book serve as helpful reminders of where students often struggle, and how to identify and avoid common mistakes.
