Course Description
The complete introduction to English pronunciation is a course designed to teach you all of the sounds we use in standard English so you can improve your English pronunciation and start to speak with confidence.
Pronunciation is a difficult area to teach because students from different languages have different problems with different English sounds. But after studying this course you will understand HOW we make the sounds in English and also WHICH sounds are difficult. We will practice the sounds with over 400 example words in 10 hours of video. We will also do practice activities together in the lessons and you will have access to many more activities as PDFs.
In addition to the sounds, we will also practice other important areas such as syllables, word stress, rhyming, US/UK differences, and how the read and write the IPA phoneme alphabet.
So maybe you are a student who wants to improve your pronunciation or maybe you are a teacher who is not sure how to teach pronunciation to your students, whatever your motivation this course can help.
Let's start!

I like because it targets the very basics. I had try to studying pronunciation in the past with a book and audio. It is just to fast for me. This course will help to develop the ears for the different sounds. Also, to writing and reading the IPA. It should be good.

I would sincerely like to thank Lee for providing us with this course. It has truly helped me a lot and cleared many of the confusions I had about the different sounds of English. Now, thanks to Lee, I can distinguish between the different sounds.

The way the lecturer teaches is easy to understand. I am at the part about word stress topic. I never care about word stress in a conversation, no wonder sometimes some native speakers don't understand whenever I talk to them.
