→Read More“I've finished The course but still come back to review some details whenever I have a spare minute. It's very convenient to use. The information is given in portions, so it is not tiresome, has lots of examples, excersises and quizes to check yourself and build better awareness. Before I didn't know that long vowels can sound shorter in certain words and the words like "pear, spare, aware" are pronounced with a long monophtong in modern British English instead of a dipthong, which I was tought before. Each vowel is shawn by John very clear and precise, with an indepth explanation, so you just take a mirror and start practicing. However, it is especially effective and the result seems obvious combining the course with personal training inbetween when you can get a proffessional advice and correct yourself. ”

Graphics and all visuals are simple, informative and support the explanations very well. I liked the use of pictures in the quiz part and well known people in the examples part - it makes learning more fun. The way John demonstrates all the tongue and mouth positions is perfect. My only suggestion would be to add a bigger vocabulary list to illustrate where this or that sound is used.”

I’m actually going through the course again because it’s so beneficial to repeat the lessons - and I genuinely enjoy them. The course has helped me understand exactly how English vowels and consonants should be pronounced. The lessons are short, clear, and easy to follow, and it’s great that you can return to any lesson and listen again whenever you like. Taking extra one-to-one lessons with John is absolutely priceless - I highly recommend it! John is a fantastic coach who pays close attention to every detail and truly helps you work on reducing your accent. Thank you, John, for helping me get closer to achieving my goal of sounding more like a native speaker!”
