English Segmental Phonetics for Finns is specifically written for Finnish-speaking university students of English. After a short introduction to the phonetic description and classification of speech sounds in general, the book focuses on the phonetics and pronunciation of standard British (RP) English. All of the segmental phonemes of English are described in detail, and then rhythm and stress are examined.

English Segmental Phonetics for Finns contrasts the different phonetic features of Finnish and English, suggesting reasons for the problems Finns commonly have in pronouncing English and offering solid practical advice to those Finns who wish to improve their pronunciation of English.
