How will this course help you speak clearly and confidently, and never be misunderstood again? Watch to find out!
Hi, I'm Adrian!
I am an accent coach & pronunciation trainer who loves sharing his passion for languages and linguistics with the world. I've taught thousands of lessons and helped hundreds of English learners improve their pronunciation, and I'd like to help you too!
I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in linguistics and in communication. I've been helping people with pronunciation since high school, and started my full-time training business several years ago. I've been invited to speak at language conferences on the topic of accent and pronunciation training as well, most recently in the 2022 Polyglot Gathering.
I've helped actors, English teachers, business leaders and more with their English pronunciation. My communication studies as well as my work experience in product design also have helped me design and test educational materials and curricula to scientifically and effectively improve my students' English pronunciation.
Master the key sounds of English pronunciation to speak confidently and never be misunderstood again!
Not sure where to start and how to improve your English pronunciation? My comprehensive course that contains all English phonemes and will help you master the mouth movements needed to speak comprehensibly and jumpstart you on improving your accent.
As a linguist, designer, and educator, I know the science, as well as how to effectively convey and teach these concepts effectively so that my students learn. Follow my step-by-step video course that is designed to go from simple to harder in exercises and concepts. In addition I have various supplemental material such as an index of phonemes, a study planner, and instructions on how to keep practicing.

Visuals
My videos explain English sounds with close-ups to illustrate how to correctly produce the sounds that you can rewatch over and over (4 hours worth of 84 videos)
Multilingual examples
We learn best by analogy, which is why I’ve included examples from other languages and how they differ from English, to help you to easily compare & contrast.
Detailed Explanations
Working on pronunciation is by no means easy, which is why I’ve devoted a lot of effort to creating understandable diagrams and explanations, breaking complex ideas into something more understandable
Exercises + audio recordings
Each lesson includes multiple exercises and audio recordings so you can self-check (3 hours worth of 369 recordings). Exercises start simple and get harder, and extra practice is included for renewed practice.
Practice tools & tips
I’ve created explanations for useful practice tools, study tips, as well as templates to help create the practice habit that will take your pronunciation from confusing to completely comprehensible.

Course Curriculum
Frequently Asked Questions
1. This course is on English pronunciation, how does it differ from accent?
I define good pronunciation as being able to be able to clearly produce the spoken elements of a language to be easily understood by one's conversation partner. You do not have to sound like a native to be clearly understood. To have a good, native-sounding accent, you need good pronunciation, but you do not have to have a native accent to have good pronunciation. This course will help you achieve good pronunciation but will not focus on getting you to sound native. That will be the topic of future courses
2. I speak ___ as a native language, will this course help me?
This is a general pronunciation course that has lessons for every single English sound plus more. As such, English learners of any linguistic background can benefit from this course to improve their pronunciation in the sounds they need help in. In future video courses I will create specific lessons for learners of various linguistic backgrounds to improve their accent to sound native. Check out the study plans for Clear English Pronunciation for speakers of Russian🇷🇺 or Polish🇵🇱 ; French🇫🇷, Italian🇮🇹, Portuguese🇧🇷, or Spanish🇪🇸; Cantonese🇭🇰 or Mandarin Chines 🇨🇳; Japanese🇯🇵 or Korea🇰🇷; Arabic🇸🇦; German🇩🇪; Thai🇹🇭, Vietnamese🇻🇳, Philippine🇵🇭, Singaporean🇸🇬, or Malaysian🇲🇾 English, Hindi🇮🇳 or Urdu🇵🇰;
3. How much time is required to improve my English pronunciation?
The time required depends on various factors, but most notably these two: 1) How much you study, and 2) your current level of English. My lessons should easily help you understand how to create the proper sounds to achieve a good pronunciation, and consistent practice should help you cement these habits. Your current level determines how many sounds and features you have to work on. Those with more to work on will understandably need more time to improve their pronunciation
4. Will there be live training in this video course?
This video course was designed to be self-paced and comprehensive, with everything you need to improve your pronunciation without needing live training. However, if you wish for a quicker pace of improvement or more individual attention you can always take my live training alongside the video course and ask specific questions about the course. In any case I am always accessible through my social media and email.
5. There are a lot of lessons. Do I need to do all of them?
This course has every single sound and feature in English necessary for good pronunciation. However, depending on your native language, there will be lessons that you don't need to do. Check out the study plans for Clear English Pronunciation for speakers of Russian🇷🇺 or Polish🇵🇱 ; French🇫🇷, Italian🇮🇹, Portuguese🇧🇷, or Spanish🇪🇸; Cantonese🇭🇰 or Mandarin Chines 🇨🇳; Japanese🇯🇵 or Korea🇰🇷; Arabic🇸🇦; German🇩🇪; Thai🇹🇭, Vietnamese🇻🇳, Philippine🇵🇭, Singaporean🇸🇬, or Malaysian🇲🇾 English, Hindi🇮🇳 or Urdu🇵🇰;
