About this course.

The Art of Pronunciation is and English pronunciation course that is designed to help you to be a better communicator. The core of language is conversation, and good pronunciation makes conversation easier, so good pronunciation equals good communication.

The course has three main objectives:

The first objective is to destroy myths and misconceptions, and explain what is possible, and necessary, to do with your pronunciation to communicate effectively.

The second objective is to show you the most important sounds in English and how to produce them, including:

  • A complete guide to English consonants
  • A complete guide to English vowels
  • How to combine sounds in connected speech
  • The prosody of English, including rhythm, stress and reduction
  • How to practice and measure your pronunciation
  • and much more!

And the final, and biggest, objective of this pronunciation course is to kill shame. Research shows that pronunciation is probably the number one cause of shame and embarrassment for people learning a language. That is not acceptable, and by the end of this course you will love the way you speak.
