More on what you will improve with this course

Because your first language is Russian it means that it is likely you speak English with a ‘Russian accent’.  This Russian accent occurs because some of the sounds and rhythms of English are different to Russian and these are challenging for you make.  With this course you will correct all of these difficult areas of English Pronunciation, making your English clear and easy for people to understand.

With our step-by-step video lessons you will be guided through correcting:

    • rate of speaking
    • volume of speaking
    • mouth position          – the mouth position used for Russian is different to English
    • Vowel sounds            – Russian speakers make many long vowels in English too short.
    • /v/                              – most Russian speaker confuse the sounds /v/ and /w/ (eg /v/ in ‘visit’ and /w/ in ‘work’) when they speak.
    • /w/                             – do you pronounce /v/ and /w/ correctly in all words?
    • ‘th’                             – the sound ‘th’ is mispronounced by Russian speakers
    • The past tense           – do you sometimes forget the past tense? Do you pronounce the ending correctly and with confidence?
    • Rhythm of words       – does your English sound flat? Do you stress the wrong parts of words?
    • Stress in a sentence  –  We emphasise some words in our sentences. Are you highlighting key words correctly?
    • and MUCH more          – in addition to the lessons on the areas listed above you will access over 20 bonus lessons to help you with difficult areas like  ‘Linking in English’, ‘Pronouncing ‘walk’ and ‘work’, ‘Pronunciation for Job interviews’, ‘Small Talk’, ‘Irregular Past Tense’ and lots more.

The areas listed above affect how clear your English will be. Problems with speech clarity can mean that you can lack confidence with spoken English and worry about how you sound and being understood.

Improving your pronunciation is easy with our video lessons. You see your teacher as you learn and you can repeat lessons if you want.  You will see clips of real non-native speakers speaking English – so you will see exactly what you need to change. You will improve and practice your new sounds from your phone with the Listen-and-Repeat MP3 audio downloads.


The course opened my eyes on some very common mistakes I made before. Also it helped me to start controlling myself at speaking slowly. Thank you for a great course – all the materials are totally worth the price. - Yurii, native Russian speaker, living in Prymont

For Russian speakers this course can help a lot! English phonetics is the most difficult part for Russian speakers but with Star Pronunciation Course you will find that it’s finally possible to speak English and understand English clearly! - Natalia, native Russian speaker, living in Russia

Now I speak way more confidently, feel more confident making the phone calls and in general enjoy speaking English much more. I’m not afraid of a job interview any more. The course is organised in a very positive and well-structured way. I’m happy that I have discovered it and I think it would be great if everyone who wants to improve their pronunciation could have an opportunity to conduct this course! - Sofya, native Russian speaker, University Student in Australia
