British Pronunciation 101

- I'm a firm believer that what we learn

becomes a part of who we are.

Now, I've be British pretty much my entire life.

My mum used to say that my first words were 'jolly good'

and 'I'd love a cuppa'.

Alright? That isn't strictly true,

but I am passionate about English

and I love how we use language to express our identities.

I've been teaching English for over 15 years now,

and I believe that learning a new language is one

of the most exciting things that we can do,

but it can leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused.

The purpose of a really British guide

to English pronunciation is to give you the knowledge

and confidence to communicate fluently in spoken English.

Now, having lived in Spain and Argentina, I know just

how hard it is to fully express yourself in another

language, and I wish I'd had a course like this

to give me the pathway to fluency.

You may be learning English to get that job promotion,

or perhaps you're doing an English exam.

I know that a lot of you use English as a common language

to communicate with people around the world,

and I know that some of you use

English because you're in love.

Whatever your reason, this is the course for you.

Have you ever been in a conversation

and thought, I know exactly what I want to say,

but I just can't say it the way that I want to.

Hi, I'm teacher Tom

and I created British Pronunciation 101 to help you fix

that exact problem.

This isn't just about learning a few tricks

or repeating words after me.

No, this is about training your mouth

just like you're in the gym.

It's about building new muscle memory, learning the music

of English, the rhythm, the stress, the intonation,

so you stop sounding robotic

and you start sounding a little bit more

like your true self.

You spent years learning English, and you know your grammar

and vocabulary are solid,

but your pronunciation still holding you back.

You are not alone.

Pronunciation is the single biggest confidence killer

for all English learners, especially if you're living,

working, or studying

in the UK. There are 50 professionally crafted videos

that walk you through the five key areas

of British English pronunciation.

We start with module one,

mastering the sounds of British English.

We'll kick things off by learning all the sounds required

to speak British English.

You learn to accurately pronounce any word using the

phonetic alphabet and how to position your lips, teeth,

and tongue so your English is clearer

and easier to understand.

Module two is exploring receive pronunciation.

RP is known as the standard British accent.

The one famous Brits like Emma Watson, Keira Knightley,

and Daniel Radcliffe have. This module is where you'll learn

how to recognize

and use its key sounds to express yourself clearly.

But we'll also cover the differences between RP

and other accents so you can understand different people

and adopt the pronunciation style that you prefer.

Module three is called Unlocking the Secrets of Fluency.

Ever wonder why Brits are so hard to understand

or how to speak more fluently?

This module has the answers.

We'll dive into the features of connected speech,

revealing the secret tricks

and techniques that you can use to sound more fluent.

Module four, speaking like you live here.

Next, we shine a light on how to use stress

and intonation to make your English sound more

natural and fluent.

It's where we breathe life into your words

and avoid that robotic classroom English sound

that you've probably grown accustomed to.

By the time you complete this module, you'll finally be able

to decode what your British colleagues and mates are saying,

and you might even sound like one too.

And module five, untangling British accents.

Whether or not you want to use receive pronunciation.

It's important to learn how other accents sound.

So in the final module we'll explore this crazy island

nation through its diverse regional accents.

By the end, you'll feel more comfortable chatting

to anyone anywhere, and you won't be doing it alone.

Every week we'll meet for group coaching calls

where I'll answer your questions

and give you expert feedback.

Plus, you'll be part of an amazing community

of learners from all around the world,

all on the same mission as you to speak better English

and feel more like themselves when they do.

Just like course graduate Eric from Spain who said,

since completing the course,

the change in my pronunciation has been remarkable.

I feel much more at ease speaking in English,

and I've noticed a significant improvement in

how I'm understood, whether it's ordering at a cafe

or presenting at work meetings.

I now speak with clarity and confidence.

If you've ever thought, I'll never sound natural in English,

let me stop you right there.

You can. You absolutely can.

You just need the right plan, the right teacher,

and the right practice.
