Welcome to this special series on mastering the sounds of English through phonetics. This journey begins with the very basics—what phonetics is, its importance, and how the speech mechanism works. You’ll discover the organs of speech, air-stream mechanisms, and the different branches of phonetics that explain how sounds are produced and understood.
As we move forward, the course takes you into the heart of sound production. You’ll learn about vowels, consonants, stress, intonation, and the fascinating features of connected speech such as assimilation, elision, contractions, juncture, and weak forms. These elements bring life to spoken English and make communication sound natural and fluent.
Next, we dive into accent and pronunciation training, where you’ll explore the key differences between British Received Pronunciation and General American English. You’ll also learn how to reduce the influence of your mother tongue while practicing with tools like Praat and Audacity to record and analyze your own voice—making learning interactive and practical.
Finally, the course ends with real-world applications of phonetics, from speech therapy and forensic phonetics to its role in artificial intelligence and technology. Together, these twelve units form a complete guide to mastering English sounds in both theory and practice. If you’re eager to take your learning further, don’t forget to check out my book Phonetics: Master the Sound of English, launching on Amazon, as well as my online courses on Udemy, Payhip, Gumroad, and Ko-fi.
