Course Information
Course Overview
Really start to sound like a native!
Do you want to improve your English fluency and speak more naturally? Do you also want to improve your listening skills (especially when listening to native speakers)? This course teaches you EVERYTHING native English speakers do (UK and US) that makes them sound native speakers fluent.
This course will teach you techniques such as 1. linking between consonant and vowels; 2. not saying sounds at the END of a word; 3. not saying sounds at the BEGINNING of a word; 4. creating new sounds to make vowel and vowel linking; 5 changing sounds; 6 the very important technique of SENTENCE STRESS.
For each technique there are lots of example sentences and PDF practice exercises for you to practice so that your English can become more fluent and your communication skills can improve.
This course builds on the COMPLETE INTRODUCTION TO ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION course also available on Udemy. In that course we focused on "sound level" and "word level" pronunciation. In this course, we study "phrase level" and "sentence level" pronunciation. However, while studying the INTRODUCTION course will help student with this fluency course, it is not necessary because all of the material is completely new.
I'm looking forward to teaching you!

The 'Pronunciation for English Fluency' course is excellent for building a solid foundation and becoming more like a native speaker. I have gained a great deal from it and would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in English or wishing to improve their fluency. I look forward to the teacher launching an advanced version of the course soon.
