Introduction

Good pronunciation is very important for good spoken communication. However you do not have to speak like a native English speaker to have good pronunciation.

There are many different natural varieties of English pronunciation in Britain and around the world. The activities and resources in this part of the site are designed to give an introduction to certain features of standard southern British English pronunciation.

There are videos, interactive quizzes and downloadable activities and materials which can be used for self-study or for teachers with lower-intermediate students.
