Our courses for individuals can be taken in the five session Essential Accent Softening program or our ten session Deluxe Accent Softening program. Courses are available to suit your timetable. Please email us to request a brochure

What is covered in the LSW Accent Softening and Confident Speaking Courses?

From the first lesson you will learn the LSW approach to Intonation, which teaches you how to recreate the melody of spoken English in three easy steps.

You will learn to recognize, pronounce, and differentiate tricky sounds correctly and with confidence.

You will be introduced to The LSW Gym, our at home practice plan, which helps you to make quick and enduring changes to your communication. Alongside our other techniques, we have developed quick and effective ways to help you make new neural networks, in other words, to rewire your brain to take on the new sounds.

This combined approach will give you all you need to be an effective, engaging, clear communicator.

What happens in a typical lesson?

In each lesson, you will learn a number of vowel and consonant sounds, and be given feedback on exactly where your pronunciation differs from those sounds. You will then put it into practice in speech and text.

You will do recording throughout (excellent for your listening skills) and receive constant feedback from your teacher. You will also learn expression, word and sentence stress and connected speech. Intonation and sounds are always a joint focus of every lesson.

Each lesson has the following five elements:

• Warm up – getting your mouth and vocal muscles ready
• Vowels – learning spellings, mouth shape and avoiding confusion
• Consonants – learning the appropriate position for accurate consonants
• Intonation –LSW simple techniques to practice
• Recording – for each individual with focused feedback

Which course is right for me?

Deluxe Option: 10 sessions
If you feel you have a very strong accent, and you want to address this issue thoroughly, then it would be a good idea to go for the deluxe (after perhaps having a taster session to check that you like it). There will be quite a lot to cover, and you will feel too rushed doing it in five sessions.
LSW Deluxe Accent Softening is £675. This includes ten hours of personal tuition, the full manual and double CD, and two after course phone calls to check your progress.




Essential Option: 5 sessions
If on the other hand, you don’t feel your accent is a particular issue, but you would like to be very clear on which sounds are getting in your way, learn some techniques for intonation and the secret rules of English, and then are happy to practice solo, then it is likely the Essential Accent Softening course will be fine for you.
LSW Essential Accent Softening is £350. This includes five hours of personal tuition, the full manual and double CD, and an after course phone call to check your progress.
