Pronunciation in Context
Ensuring people understand you is the most important part of learning any language, and perhaps the most difficult. Replicating the sounds required by the English language often means learning new ways of using your facial muscles, your breathing and your voice. It also means changing the way you think about language learning.

Fluency in speech relies greatly on the confidence in knowing you are reproducing sounds, tones, intonation and the other essential elements of speech. It is often said ‘if you hear it, you can say it’. Fluency in listening enables you to draw language from your environment and gain the ability to replicate it in natural conversations with English speakers.
