    About the Course

    In this course, you’ll practice the sounds of American English that might sometimes be confusing. You'll practice both consonant and vowel
    sounds. You’ll also learn about the things that give English its special “music,” such as how to stress the right syllable in a word, how to make
    your voice go up and down in a natural-sounding melody, and how to naturally connect sounds and words. Learning these things will help you
    speak more clearly and make sure that others can understand what you're saying. This course is useful for English language learners who want
    to improve pronunciation of American English for better communication. Note that access to all of the lectures and handouts...

    Since the beginning I thought this course could help me improve my pronunciation in English. But it is a resource to all teachers who want to give simple examples to students to speak better, and for anyone who wants to speak and pronounce more naturally.

    This course has met all my expectations. You won't be perfectly fluent when you finish, but definitely, you will be better and more secure about your pronunciation. It provides great tools to improve that you won't easily find somewhere else. Thanks!

    This is an amazing course! You learn not only the correct way to pronounce words, but you also become a better listener as you now have a "logic" rather than an intuitive understanding about how to speak that most teachers don't really teach you.

    I tried my best to learn most of this course. I hope I will sound like Native speakers after some days. Because I wrote down every point I should remember. I doing practice regularly on talking apps.

    Великолепный курс. Ничего лишнего. Великолепная подача материала позволяет понять все тонкости произношения, которому, к моему глубокому сожалению, не все изучающие язык уделяют должное внимание. Огромное спасибо преподавателям...

    This course is helpful for students from non-english speaking country. But, you should know that this course isn't a course for everything about pronunciation. For 'tricky' pronunciation, I'll recommend this course.
