English Sounds of Received Pronunciation
Are you tired of being asked to repeat yourself? Is your strong accent dragging you down? This course is based on more than 25 years of teaching experience. We have been helping hundreds of people to get rid of their accents and become confident communicators. All our courses, books and apps are very practical and to the point, they are focused and contain 10% of theory and 90% of practice.
This course teachers you how to speak without an accent. During this course students will learn all sounds of Received Pronunciation (RP). RP was called in the past the Queen’s English, Oxford English or BBC English. Today, RP is simply a neutral pronunciation of educated Southern English; it is also called Standard English. RP is associated with good education, high class and success. This course will provide you a short cut to a more valuable enhanced image, which in turn will open doors to greater opportunities.
Content of the course
This course consists of 42 private video lessons and three lectures. Linda James, one of the top speech tutors in the UK with over 25 years of experience explains and demonstrates how each English sound is formed in the mouth. Her student, Olga Smith tries to produce the sounds and then Linda offers very effective exercises for Olga. The atmosphere of a private lesson is wonderful. Olga highlights to Linda main difficulties that different nationalities have with particular English sounds. Linda offers very useful tips which cannot be found in books or apps.
Together, Linda and Olga have co-authored several international bestsellers in the series the Get Rid of your Accent. The popularity of their books led to creating accompanying apps. Lesson numbers in the video course, books and apps correspond to the same sound. Audio books are available on Audible, paperback books and e-books on Amazon.
This video course is designed to support our existing apps and books in the series "Get Rid of your Accent" with a demonstration of speech organ positions, providing a total solution for accent reduction on line.

I love the course, helping me a lot! I just wish that there would be short recordings on the app as well. It's so much easier to see the position of the mouth and tongue than to read about them, but all in all a great course! Thanks so much!
To profit fully, you need to intall the Accent UK app.
I love the fact that this course was done in a conversational manner that involves a former student and the teacher.
The video has been helping with clarity of words.
Enjoy the course so far
I have the app too but it’s great and to see on video how to make the sounds and some of the exercises
There is no luck like this!
Good explanation for mouth and jaw openings for each vowel and consonant sound.
Excellent course, simple to follow, easy to understand and full with examples.
