How Does It Work?
Designed according to the Improve Your Accent Method, the course takes you through the following 7 stages:
The course is online so you can learn wherever and whenever you want!
1. Understand how the mouth muscles work
First you explore how the mouth works. Remember that speech is physical activity. It’s important to understand how the mouth muscles work, so you are able to change the way you speak.
2. Train the muscles
The course provides different physical exercises to make the mouth muscles stronger and more flexible. This will give you the control to create new sounds more easily.
3. Learn some IPA (phonetic) symbols
English spelling is confusing. It is not easy to guess the pronunciation of a word from the spelling for example the “b” in “debt” is not pronounced!)
By learning the difference between letters and sounds – and using symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) – the process of pronouncing words becomes much simpler.
Don’t worry if you hate phonetics – they are not essential to improving your accent.

At this point, you’ll learn three important topics, which are:
- How to pronounce “r”
- When to pronounce “r”
- The Schwa
The majority of non-native speakers will have problems with these sounds.

4. Choose your native language
Different people will encounter different problems when approaching English pronunciation depending on their native language (a Chinese speaker will have very different challenges compared to a Spanish speaker).
For this reason the remainder of the course is organised according to your native language (just to be clear, the course is still in English).
The course prioritises the sounds that will make the biggest differences to your accent.
5. Focus on important topics
There are over 15 more pronunciation topics that have been chosen and ordered according to your native language. Priority is given to sounds that will improve intelligibility (=people understanding you).
Helpful comparisons are made between the sounds in your language and in English.
6. Guidance on how to practise
The course gives clear instructions on how to practise and how to incorporate new sounds into your everyday speech.
7. Speak clearly & confidently!
After studying this course, you will have a deeper understanding of English pronunciation and you will be able to communicate more effectively in English.
What do other learners say?
Here are some reviews from other learners:
Alessandro Rotatori, English Language Lecturer at the University of Rome
Elien, Belgium
As a Chinese learner, I find Luke's online course extremely helpful and practical. Even when I am on a business trip, all I need is 10-20 minutes and I can finish one lesson per day. His course is not only well-planned with a focus on tackling one specific pronunciation problem per course but also motivating thanks to the uploaded videos. I find the hands-on videos easy to follow. I usually finish one or two lessons per day, and after practising for a few weeks, I feel that I have improved. Highly recommend!
