Learn from a real live native 'BBC' or 'RP' English speaker about real English phrases, great pronunciation & language

This course is for English speakers who want to improve their conversation, clarity, accent, communication skills, pronunciation and phrasing when speaking English.

THIS IS NOT A 'LEARN ENGLISH' COURSE.

NO, IT IS A TALKING, LISTENING AND COPYING COURSE.

You will listen to me, copy me and talk with me trying to make similar sounds to me.

This way you will understand how English sounds when spoken by a native with a neutral or 'non-geographic' accent.

The learning takes place as you listen and speak. It's a gentle process - a conversation, not a strict educational series of lessons.

One student said 'thanks for your effort but i dont benefit from the live confersation because it is boring and repeating the same sentence.' PLEASE note that this course IS about repeating the same phrase so don't take the course if you don't like repeating phrases.

Please don't enrol if you are looking for language lessons, this is a conversation.

PLEASE NOTE YOU CAN CHANGE THE SPEED OF PLAYBACK ON UDEMY SO IF IT'S TOO FAST OR TOO SLOW FOR YOU PLEASE ALTER THE SPEED TO SUIT YOU BEST.

I'll show you things that are not in the normal books!

But first let me tell you there is a 30-day money back guarantee so there's no risk. If you don't like the course I'll refund every penny without question.

This is backed up by Udemy.

Why take this course? Communicating better will surely…

get you a better job
help you do better in business
help in social setting especially when you travel
help you be understood better
allow you to get closer to local people through language

But I'm NOT teaching you English language as such because you can already speak English.

I'll show you which part of the word to emphasise, when to go up or down in pitch, how to pronounce words better, and many other communication tricks to help you engage your listener and get them to trust what you say.

What's in it for you?

Hopefully they will offer you that well-paid job or contract you are seeking
Your business will work better with improved communication
You will have more fun travelling with better English
You will be understood better
You will get to know people better with higher skills
This course is probably NOT for native speakers of English who have lived for generations in the US, UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa or any other naturally English speaking country - unless you feel you wish to change/reduce your accent!

But I guess if you wanted to change the way you speak for any reason you would have already done it.

This communication and pronunciation course is for people who can speak English already. If you don't yet speak English please go and learn first then return here for the finishing touches.

It is for people who want a job or to do business that needs good spoken English to help you progress.

For example, if you wanted to work for Google Analytics and you live in New Delhi this course is perfect for you. I recently had to speak to two guys on a certain helpline; the first had such a strong accent I could not understand what he was telling me so I had to ring off and try again with someone different who had a much clearer accent and I could work with him.

I didn’t report this but some people would have and the guy with the heavy accent might have had a tough time, I don’t know.

If you speak English as a second language and need to communicate well with a buyer in the US or the UK, the deciding factor could be your accent as you speak English - a potential client may be put off if they find it hard to understand what you are saying.

I have a French friend who always apologises for his accent when he speaks English. He is embarrassed about his accent and many people can’t understand him – except on email!

Another example - I buy harmonicas from Shanghai and the two factories I buy from each have a contact I speak to. They both speak good English but one has a very strong Chinese accent and the other doesn't.

I buy twice as many harmonicas from the guy with not much accent because I feel I can work with him and get what I need better.

When the order comes in it is what I ordered - but the order from the other guy usually is not what I think I ordered. That is why you might do better if your accent is improved.

Or if you want to become a member of air crew on Virgin Atlantic/Jetstar Airlines or whatever you would stand a better chance of landing the job if you had very clear English I believe.

So come and join me and see if it works for you.
