Here is a quick breakdown of the features of each option:
What is Covered in the 12 Modules?
To learn an accent you first need to become familiar and comfortable with
the sounds that make up that accent.
You may find that some of these sounds are not used in your native accent
so you may find them tricky to pick up at the start. Don’t worry if you have
difficulty with some of the Sounds – this is completely normal. Through practice you will find them easier to
form and more natural to make!
The first 3 modules really concentrate on the Sounds:
Module 1 : The Sounds In The British Accent ( overview of the different
vowel and consonant sounds)
Module 2: Spoken Sounds ( in vision of the mouth producing each of these
sounds)
Module 3: Extra Vocab Practice ( this is lists of words that focus on a
particular sound. The sound may be heard
at the beginning, middle or end of the word.
The sounds are divided into Affricates, Diphthongs, Fricatives Part 1
and Part 2, Laterals, Long Vowels, Nasal consonants, Plosives, Semi-vowels,
Short vowels)
The next modules focus in more on the Words:
Module 4: Top 300 Verbs ( used in English in the present tense)
Module 5 : Top 500 Words ( used in English. Also includes a sample sentence
with each word)
Of course Words are heard in each module and these modules feature them greatly:
Module 9b : Mispronounced Words
Module 10: Industry Vocab ( vocab
commonly heard in the industries of Advertising, IT , HR, Sales and Marketing)
The remaining modules help you with using the words in sentences, and improving your conversational speaking voice. You will learn and hear how the sounds and words change when used in connected speech.
Module 6 : Telephone Practice (
telephone phrases and example telephone conversations)
Module 7 : 40 Conversations
Module 8: Connected Speech
Module 9a : Phrases and Sayings

Remember you will hear all these sounds, words and sentences spoken by a
Native RP British accent speaker. By
hearing a real person speak, this should help you develop the authentic,
natural accent you desire.
