About the Book
EasyTalk is designed to help many millions of yearly visitors (business and pleasure) to the United States, the many business owners throughout the World who want to take part in the giant U.S. economy, the slightly over 1 million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every year and the millions of resident professionals from the last dozen years or more. Many formerly foreign medical folks in the one of the World’s largest Medical Centers, for example, who asked me to compile a book so they can at least enjoy going to the grocery store, do other shopping or their jobs better. Underlying EasyTalk is the little understood Science of Phonology (hearing and listening) expressed in common, simplified language to achieve these goals. The book’s area of phonology focuses on short and long sounds of our alphabets vowels as they modify conversation syllables in talking or listening to others.
About the Author
I, the Author, Tom Dillman, is blessed to have a upper 1% I.Q. with a family tree and friends that includes people from all over the World and who is related to several former Presidents of the United States, including Thomas Jefferson, U.S. Grant, and the Bushs’. He is an Electrical Engineer, with minors in Physics and Mathematics with his Masters area in Business Management. He had a Security Clearance that enabled him to help Astronauts land on the moon and travel much further. Clear talking, listening and understanding has always been a passion of his since early, complex childhood, which was a result of the Great Depression, and which led to my several early years in an Orphanage.. I included this in the EasyTalk manuscript because I want the customers to feel comfortable that the contents were not written by some language scientist using non-understandable technical jargon.
