How to Speak like a Brit: British English Pronunciation Course (CNJO)

This British English pronunciation course will offer an overview of the sound system of Received Pronunciation (RP), also know as BBC English. English vowels and consonants will be compared to the Polish ones and advice will be provided on how to articulate English sounds correctly.

The topic of word stress and sentence stress (rhythm) will be also explored, along with the key issue of vowel reduction, schwa, as well as weak and strong forms. Additional subject areas covered during the course will include the process of linking and distribution of /r/ in RP.

When discussing the quality and length of English vowels, the question of linguistic interference, which is the influence of one's native language (L1) on a second language (L2), is going to be examined. The course will concentrate on the influence of Polish but native speakers of other languages will also be able to benefit from the exercises.

The course will include a description and demonstration of a given sound or a
