There are many courses on English speaking and pronunciation that teach you basic principles, provide lots of practice, but still leave you feeling you haven't learnt what you need in order to listen and speak English fluently.

This course is different.

Rather than give you 50+ hours of practice on the same basic principles over and over again, this course takes you straight to the complex principles which will answer your questions about what English speakers do in almost every situation.

For pronunciation, this course doesn't just teach you what the sounds are like. It teaches you exactly what to do with your mouth to make every possible English sound, so you can have confidence that you are articulating sounds correctly.

For accents, you won't just learn the basics of one or two accents. The "Regional Variations" section teaches you how pronunciation changes across a wide range of English contexts; British, American, South African, Indian, Australian and more.

For features of native speech, it doesn't merely get you practicing simple stress patterns. You will learn the intricate details that affect 1) why native English speakers use stress, 2) how and why they create rhythm in longer turns and 3) both the rules and exceptions for how they connect speech together.

"Intonation" is rarely taught in great detail on other courses, but makes such a difference to how your listeners interpret your messages. This course contains a comprehensive section on this vital skill so you can be confident not to make unintended mistakes.

And this course does not ignore the problem of matching spellings to sounds! There is a full section instructing you on how to pronounce written words with the correct sounds, looking at how the pronunciation of letters changes according to specific situations.

Each lesson follows this pattern:

Learn

Listen

Practice

The course is useful for English learners at any stage of their learning journey. It covers the basic principles of pronunciation and speaking for intermediate level learners, and it also looks at the fine details for advanced learners; the details that separate a proficient but non-native sounding speaker from someone who can pass for being native in an exam setting, in a business context, or in life in general.

Examples on the course are mostly in the RP accent (Southern English, which is considered the "traditional" English accent by some), but contains sufficient examples of other accents to be useful for a learner who is attempting to develop an accent within any regional variation of English.

This course is taught by experts in the field with top qualifications and 25 years of real-life experience in teaching English learners like you.
