What are the advantages of the course
Russian accent is not a death sentence
- No matter how strong your accent is, with hard practice you can make it barely noticeable. To do this, you will work on articulating sounds and correct intonation. This will help native speakers understand you better and respect the effort you put into learning their native language. All this together will lead you to successful communication.
Required pronunciation type
- Depending on your goals, the teacher will help you master British or American pronunciation. Perhaps you are dealing with business partners from different countries. Then the American standard pronunciation is suitable for you. If you want to go to the University of London, you should opt for a British accent.
Personal program
- The teacher will test your abilities, identify shortcomings in your speech and develop an optimal program with an emphasis on what is most difficult for you in the phonetics of the English language. As part of this program, you will also be selected an individual package of materials that matches your level of knowledge, interests and wishes.
Lessons with a native speaker
