Perfect English Pronunciation: British English from Udemy

Perfect English Pronunciation is an English pronunciation course taught by me, Anthony, a native British English speaker. Thus, we will be focusing on British English sounds: you will learn every single English sound and will master each one so that you can sound more native-like.

This course includes:

lectures for every single sound in English
PDF worksheets for each sound
close-up videos so you can mimic the shape of my mouth
and MP3 downloads so that you can learn anywhere, any time.

Each lecture focuses on two or three sounds so that you can focus on them and really improve before moving on to the next lecture. There are lots of exercises which show you how to shape your mouth, place your tongue, and produce the target sounds.

If you want to speak English more clearly, if you have a strong accent, or if you simply want to take your English to the next level, this course can help you achieve your goal of improving your English pronunciation.
