How to learn New Concept English? Methods for learning New Concept English

1. Should I choose British or American pronunciation for New Concept English?

Generally speaking, for those who want to learn American English but also like "New Concept English", it's best to listen to the American version, which is published by Shanghai Foreign Language University. This version is rarely seen on the market now, so you need to search online patiently. A friend of mine has it; he specializes in selling "New Concept" textbooks. The choice between American and British pronunciation is entirely based on personal preference. There's no distinction of which one is better. As long as you are learning English, when practicing listening, you should be exposed to both American and British accents because, in real life, you don't know whether the foreigner you encounter will be European or American, and even Americans can speak British-style English.

Therefore, your own pronunciation should consistently follow one style, without mixing British and American accents.
