Do people often fail to understand you even though your grammar is correct? Do you wish to learn to speak English with an accent that is easy for people to understand? Perhaps you can write grammatically correct sentences, but when it comes to conversation you fail to leave the right impression due to poor pronunciation and intonation?

Whether you are a business person involved in high-stakes negotiations or a student giving presentations, communicating clearly and effectively is essential.

Meet your instructor

Meet Anton, an expert in English pronunciation with over 12 years of global teaching experience.

My interest in English pronunciation began over 12 years ago while working at an English pronunciation school in Tokyo.

I have always been interested in languages and the thought process involved in language acquisition. It's not just about studying, but also developing the correct mindset. You really have to consider the whole thought process. How do native speakers of a certain language think? How do they process information? How do they develop the ability to read, write and speak?

My second language is French, and my third language is Japanese. Analyzing the patterns of behaviour of native speakers has helped me acquire the skills necessary to work as a Japanese-English translator in a range of specialist fields.

Currently, I offer two courses: 

Received Pronunciation: Complete Course and Student Correction Course. 

If you are new to pronunciation, I recommend starting with the basic course, Received Pronunciation: Complete Course. In this course, you will learn the basics of Received Pronunciation. Each sound is introduced step-by-step together with exercises to help reinforce your newly found knowledge.  You will learn to identify the different vowel sounds according to the shape of the mouth, the position of the tongue, and their respective positions on the monophthong chart. You will also learn to aspirate the consonant sounds in a native-like manner. The complete course requires a minimum of 30 hours to complete.

If you are already familiar with the basics, I recommend Student Correction Course Series I. In this course, we examine the difficulties that non-native English speakers can have according to their linguistic background.

Why Received Pronunciation?

Learn the accent spoken by BBC newsreaders, presenters, journalists and the top British actors in Hollywood.

Many British actors in Hollywood speak Received Pronunciation (RP), also known as Standard British English because it is often considered to be the most neutral and prestigious accent in the UK. RP is widely perceived as being clear and elegant, which makes it a desirable accent for actors to adopt, especially when performing in international productions where they need to be easily understood by audiences from different countries.

In addition, Hollywood has a long-standing tradition of casting British actors in leading roles, and many British actors trained in the classical theatre tradition were taught to speak RP as part of their training. This has helped to establish RP as the default accent for British actors in Hollywood.

RP is widely used and recognized in the film and television industry and is often seen as a sign of a sophisticated actor.
