This is the first in a three-part series of pronunciation-focused courses, designed specifically for non-native English speakers who want to speak clearly and confidently. Unlike general English language classes, this course concentrates exclusively on English pronunciation and is delivered by a team of expert vocal coaches with years of experience in voice and articulation training.
What makes this course different from a standard language class?
We take a vocal training approach, showing you exactly how each sound is produced in the mouth. You’ll learn to identify and use the correct positions of your lips, tongue, teeth, and vocal cords (the organs of articulation) for accurate pronunciation. Using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), we break down English sounds into clear, learnable steps—giving you the tools to confidently pronounce new words long after the course ends.
What You’ll Learn:
- Single vowel sounds – Learn the phonetic symbols, sound production, and physical positioning needed to pronounce them correctly.
- Double vowel sounds – Understand diphthongs and how to transition smoothly between vowel sounds.
- Triple vowel sounds – Explore complex vowel combinations and the techniques to master them.
- Consonants and consonant digraphs – Develop clarity and accuracy with individual and paired consonant sounds.
- Rhythm, stress, and intonation – Gain awareness of speech patterns that affect fluency and natural delivery.
You’ll receive downloadable course notes and practice recordings, allowing you to reinforce what you’ve learned between sessions. This is an interactive, hands-on course—so be ready to participate and receive personalised feedback in a supportive learning environment.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US!
“I am currently at Level 2 of the Pronunciation course with Sarah and I am really enjoying it. The subjects covered are really helpful and reflects the real conversations that you can have everyday with native speakers. It really helps understanding some tricks of pronunciation that might be difficult for non native, and the practice with Father Ted scripts make the lessons really funny and really friendly.” Elisabetta Cortisones
Agenda
Week 1
Info: In our first week, we will look at Intercostal Diaphragmatic Breathing, organs of articulation and mouth positions for the five vowel signs.
Week 2
Info: We will then move on to single vowels or 'pure vowels'. Focusing on the phonetic symbols and organ placements that accompany them
Week 3
Info: In week 3, we will work on 'dipthongs' or double vowel sounds, and heteronyms which are words of like spelling, but with more than one meaning. When pronounced differently, they are known as heteronyms or homographs.
Week 4
Info: Moving on to week 4, we will be looking at consonants. Think "The cute cat can't have cake", perfecting that 'c' sound amongst many others with plenty of tongue twisters.
Week 5
Info: Continuation of consonants and then moving on to the semi vowels (w and y).
Week 6
Info: In our final class we will look at the triple vowel sound and rules of English pronunciation, tying in everything that we have learned thus far. We will end our class with practical implementation, reading from monologues.
