hello everyone
and welcome back to english with lucy
let's take a look at this word
epiphany it's a particularly beautiful
word
and it holds a lot of meaning for me
as defined by cambridge english
dictionary it is a moment when you
suddenly feel that you understand
something that is very
important to you i want you to have an
epiphany when it comes to your english
now let's look at the pronunciation
epiphany epiphany
you might have seen in my pronunciation
videos that i use these weird
letters these are phonetic
transcriptions
they are incredibly useful if you know
how to read and understand them and they
are incredibly useless
if you don't know how to use them i have
created something
big something important to me
it's the most valuable work that i've
ever carried out
throughout my career as a teacher it has
taken me
two years of hard work i have built
a language platform it's called
epiphany language studios and it's ready
i can now announce that the first course
is
waiting for you on the platform and it
is the most
highly requested and anticipated topic
in the history of my youtube channel
never have i received so many requests
for one specific topic
british english pronunciation
i need to be very specific here there
are
so many varieties of british english
and none of them are superior in this
course
i will teach you pronunciation based on
the way
i speak modern received pronunciation
i will teach you to sound natural when
speaking english
you will learn to speak clearly and
you'll feel
more confident and fluent when you speak
we'll go through every sound in modern
received pronunciation
in detail focusing on mouth shape
and tongue position lift your tongue so
that the tip
makes gentle contact with the underneath
of your upper front teeth
i'll be right there with you leaving you
time and space to copy and imitate
my sounds and movements all of the vowel
sounds
all of the consonant sounds you'll
master them all
you will leave the course with the
ability to understand
any phonetic transcription that you
might find
in a british english dictionary that
means that you'll be able to look at
any word and immediately know how to
pronounce it
we will also analyze connected speech
how to link your words together and make
your sentences
flow i'll show you where to omit
or to leave out certain sounds or
syllables
we'll look at rhythm intonation
word stress syllable stress
we will of course take a good look
at notoriously difficult sounds like the
glottal stop
the linking r and the dark l
i wanted to ensure that i'm providing
you my students
with an outstanding pronunciation course
so i hired two lecturers in linguistics
from prestigious english universities
to fact check and confirm the course
they went through every script that i
created
every video in the course every single
part of the course
to fact check it and confirm it all i
am so excited and proud
to share this with you all i've been
making lessons on youtube for five years
and i always had the goal of creating a
course
but i wanted it to be the best course
possible i am so excited
to welcome you through the doors of
epiphany language studios

me
