Step 3: British accent training

We'll learn the best ways to make your English pronunciation sound very natural with a British accent.

We will be learning the RP (Received Pronunciation) accent, which is considered the most 'British' and most correct accent for English speaking.

It's the accent that you've heard in movies like Harry Potter and shows like Downton Abbey and Bridgerton - so if you want your English speaking to sound like that, don't miss this section!

These British accent methods include:

• End many words with schwa sound, not strong ‘r’ sound e.g. mother

• Long ‘aaaah’ sound in words like ‘class, bath’ in British accent

• Pronounce ‘tt’ as ‘tt’ (not ‘dd’ like Americans!)

• Stewpid vs Stoopid – RP British accent uses ‘you’ sound

• Pronounce the middle ‘r’ in words like ‘very’ as a ‘d’ (vedy good)

• Summary: After this section, you'll sound like you were born in the nice part of London! Your English speaking is certain to improve!

Step 4: English pronunciation mastery

We'll learn some high-level ways to make your English speaking even more natural sounding, by connecting your speech.

Connected speech is a great way to make your English pronunciation more authentic when you are practicing your English speaking. 

And we'll practice passages together so you can be as confident as possible when using your new perfect English pronunciation! 

We'll learn the following methods of making your English pronunciation more connected: 

• Contractions
