LSW Accent Softening & Confident Speaking will provide you with the tools to banish misunderstanding and enjoy a mastery of spoken English.

We do this by teaching you the sounds, rhythms, intonation and psychology of spoken English, with the unique LSW methodology.

We are currently only running our courses for individuals. This can be taken in the five session program Essential Accent Softening or our ten session program Deluxe Accent Softening. 

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: 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.
The LSW Deluxe Accent Softening course 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: 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.

The LSW Essential Accent Softening course 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.

If you are still not sure, and would like to discuss it, why not give us a call on 07951 588 622 and get a free 15 minute phone consultation.

Why do you no longer do group courses?

LSW is going through an exciting new phase, and as such we are changing the way we work. Our program has proved so popular that we are determined to keep on offering it. By running private courses, it means we can give our clients even more of the individualised attention we are so well known for.

The one to one dynamic allows for the client to work at the pace that best suits their learning style. It also allows for each individual session to be tailored around the specific needs of the student. All LSW tutors have unique skills as a teacher, and years of experience working with professionals from all over the world, helping with their communication and speaking skills. One hour with an LSW Senior Tutor: £75 . Taster session: £65

“Excellent tutors with full awareness of individuals’ needs. Emma and her colleagues are exceptional.” Ilesh, India

What materials come with the course?

With both courses you will receive your own LSW manual which has over 100 pages of course materials, resources and exercises. You also have a double LSW CD which works alongside the manual or that you can use independently. The CD and manual includes thirty pages of resources and further exercises, games, quizzes, book extracts and information sheets. Enough to keep you going for a long time after the course has finished.
