OMG we’re half-way through the year – How’s Your New Year's Resolutions going?

 

Was 2014 the year you learn the British accent?

 So 2014 was the year that you were going to get that British Accent?  

So how’s that working out for you?  Have you started learning it yet? 

Did you make an attempt in January, but it fizzled out by February? 

Don’t worry we’ve still got time to get you speaking in that RP British Accent by Dec 31^st.  If you’ve got 15-30mins a day and a copy of the Ultimate RP BritishAccent Learning Resource, then you will soon be speaking with authentic British pronunciation. 

Don’t let 2014 be the year you lost out on that job promotion because of your lack of ‘communication skills’. 

Make 2014 the year that you were understood the first time & you no longer faced the embarrassment of having to repeat yourself to be understood.

• Develop a clear and easily understandable speaking voice by learning the RP British accent. 
• Daily listening and speaking practice will help you become a more confident and natural English speaker.
