Our pronunciation courses and learning materials focus on 4 essential areas of spoken English:
Mouth Movement
How to move the tongue, jaw and lips, and to use the voice to accurately produce the 44 sounds of English.
Spelling to Sound
The relationship between written English and its pronunciation. We learn the rules, exceptions and IPA symbols for every sound.
Connected Speech
The way sounds change when they join together. This helps learners to produce and hear speech as quickly as a native speaker does.
Stress and Intonation
The melodies and stresses of English speech: when to go up, down and how to use pitch range to show emotion.
Since 2008 over 50,000 learners from more than a hundred countries have improved their pronunciation skills at Pronunciation Studio, online and in London.
Pronunciation and intonation are often ignored on English courses; learners achieve a high level in grammar, vocabulary and writing, but do not reach their potential in speaking or listening skills.
Although English does have an unusual relationship between its written and spoken forms, these areas can be learnt like any other with rules, exceptions, and above all plenty of practice.
Spoken Accuracy
Using the full range of sounds means words are pronounced clearly, fewer mistakes and less need to repeat.
Listening Skills
Usually the first sign of improvement is faster, more detailed listening skills: learners hear things they’d never noticed before.
Long Term Progress
Now the sounds and rules are learnt, students normally continue to improve because they can recognise their mistakes.
