More on what you will improve with this course

Because your first language is Sinhala it means that it is likely you speak English with an accent.  This accent occurs because some of the sounds and rhythms of English are different to Sinhala 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    
    • Rhythm of words   – does your English sound flat? Do you stress the wrong parts of words?
    • Stress in a phrase  – In English we emphasise some words in our sentences. Sinhala speakers are often too flat.
    • Vowel sounds       – Sinhala speakers make many of the long vowels in English too short.
    • /v/                         — the sound /v/ like in ‘visit’ is difficult for Sinhala speakers
    • /w/                         – the sound /w/ like in ‘work’ is often mispronounced by Sinhala speakers
    • /f/                          – many Sinhala speakers sometimes pronounce /p/ instead of /f/.
    • ‘th’                         – the sound ‘th’ is mispronounced by Sinhala speakers
    • and MUCH more          – in addition to the lessons on the areas listed above you will access over 23 bonus lessons to help you with difficult areas of English pronunciation.

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 Sinhala speakers speaking English – so you will see exactly what you need to change. You will improve and practice your new sounds when you are on the move with the Listen-and-Repeat MP3 audio downloads.


For non-native English speakers, this is a very good course from the very beginning to get a clearer understanding on how to pronounce English words correctly. You also get very useful materials. - Arjuna, native Sinhala speaker, living in Sydney, Australia

Taking the Star Pronunciation class reduced my strong accent, improved my confidence, and improved my listening while saving my time that would otherwise be wasted on the road for attending classes. - Jayathi, native Sinhala speaker, living in Chifley
