Course Description
In this course, you will learn the pronunciation of single English sounds. We will go over both how to make the sounds and examples of those sounds in common English words and phrases. This course includes exercises for making better English speaking habits. The course starts with the basics of English pronunciation, then goes on to difficult sounds that learners often come across when learning American English pronunciation. If you work hard and practice what you learn, you will improve and your confidence in speaking English will go through the roof.
You will be able to see my face and mouth clearly in each video lesson, and I will use a blackboard at all times.
Each lesson focuses on a single idea or skill, and each is comprehensive, meaning that after each lesson you should have the ability to use everything you've learned, to make English sounds correctly and naturally, and speak with more confidence (which means having better English conversations too). You can go at your own pace and should take your time, with lots of practice between videos. Replaying each lesson is highly recommended.
If you're ready to take your English pronunciation to the next level, there's only one thing left to do: Sign up now!

The course explained basic English sounds in a clear way. Practice exercises helped improve pronunciation and confidence. I now feel closer to speaking with an American accent naturally.

Informative and helpful
By Pattapong M on 11/21/2022
Overall, I learnt some helpful tips. However, there were inserts of correction from time to time, which caused confusion. It could have been better if the instructor re-recorded the episodes where he missed something.

Review of American English Pronunciation I believe the content of "American English Pronunciation" is excellent. However, it would be helpful if the practice exercises could be converted into PDF format.

Thank you Luke, your course is @m@zing!. I am better in English pronunciation. My son (4.5 years old) and I had a lot of fun and we felt happy learning with you during the course. Now, we keep on practicing to develop the habit. By the way, I bought all of your courses in Udemy. If you have a spare time later, could you make a post in your blog on how to plan what course should learn first, then second course,..,etc. It will make more efficient on learning all your courses. Thank a lot.
