App Contents and Functionality
In this speech training app, we teach you how to produce all British English sounds. Each lesson in the book covers one sound.
First, we explain how to place your tongue, lips and jaw for the target sound. Then you repeat the sound in words, phrases, sentences, verses, tongue twisters and business prose passages. Additional lessons cover contractions, silent letters, and useful French expressions.
The lessons cover all English sounds needed to master Received Pronunciation, the neutral accent of educated English speakers.
You can play audio tracks, record yourself, and compare your pronunciation with the model.

Olga learned a unique drama school method for Accent Reduction from top British phonetician Linda James. Together, they co-authored the bestselling “Get Rid of your Accent" book series.
In the past, you could only get speech training in British drama schools or by taking speech lessons from a private speech tutor. Olga wanted to make this exclusive training accessible for a much wider audience. Linda and Olga took the method long used in London drama schools, adapted it for learners of English and collated it into a single training manual, the first of its kind.
The success of the book inspired Olga to design and launch Accent Reduction courses for those who need to neutralize their accent in a short period of time. The courses became a huge success and have been featured in National newspapers and television in the UK. Visit www.batcsglobal.com and book an individual course to get the best results in a short period of time.
