Description

'The simplicity of the course is just brilliant! I learnt a lot about speaking clearly. I couldn't understand the mechanics of the sounds that come up in pronunciation tools, such as Google search. But after these lessons and exercises, I am able to understand them and judge myself when I do it wrong and correct it with practice. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is looking to speak clearly.' ANDREW

I have been teaching people to talk clearly since 1994 and these exercises have been created over the years to help people from all over the world with specific sounds.

I believe that this is a unique approach to English pronunciation and that you won't find another course like it online. This course has been designed so that you can hop from one lecture to another they are not dependent upon each other, this makes improving your pronunciation easier for you as you can concentrate on the sounds you need to.

I teach this course as though you are sitting opposite me and I explain and demonstrate how the English sounds and words should be said and you then have an opportunity to repeat and practice the sounds. The exercises are also presented as a downloadable resource which you can print out and then practise whenever you want to.

I have had a website about clear speaking for nearly twenty years and in all that time my most popular page (every day) has been the voice exercise (pronunciation) page so I have decided to bring it to life. This course will never become outdated - it will always be essential for people who want to speak well.

This isn't aimed just at people who have English as an additional language, about 50% of my pupils over the last twenty years have English as their first or only language and they just want to improve their pronunciation and how they speak.

This course focuses on voice exercises for most of the vowel and consonant sounds made in English. I cover 39 different sounds as well as a few oddities of the spoken English language. I will show you how these sounds should be pronounced, what shape your mouth should be, where your tongue should be and you will hear what they should sound like. This will help you learn how to pronounce English sounds.

Each lecture concentrates on one sound and there is an opportunity for you to repeat the exercises after me.  Each sound has its own lesson so you can jump around and pick on the sounds you need to improve. This is helpful for anyone who mumbles or wishes to soften their accent - whatever accent they have but please bear in mind that anyone can speak clearly even with an accent if they can execute the basic skills of clear speech.

I am 100% confident that there isn't another course like this. If you enrol on the course and find a particular sound you have trouble with is missing you only need to message me and I will add it in a new lecture as soon as possible for you. 

I want everyone to have confidence and fun when speaking. Most bad speech is caused by laziness or lack of knowledge.
