Sounds you’ll practise
The sounds English learners find hardest. Your coach works on them live, and pronunciation practice keeps them sharp between lessons.
- p / b
pen / Ben, park / bark
Arabic has no p. Let a small puff of air out for p; b uses the voice.
- v / f
very / ferry, van / fan
Both use the top teeth on the lower lip; only v uses the voice.
- th
think, three / this, mother
Tongue lightly between the teeth — not s, t, z or d.
- ship / sheep
sit / seat, full / fool
Short and long vowels change the word. Keep the short ones relaxed and quick.
- str, spl, -sts
street, splash, tests
Say consonant clusters without adding an extra vowel (not "es-treet").
- word stress
PHOtograph / phoTOgraphy
Stress moves between related words, and getting it wrong is harder to understand than a wrong sound.
Culture and etiquette
English has one "you", so politeness lives in the phrasing: indirect requests, please and thank you, and softer verbs. First names are normal at work in most English-speaking companies.
- Could you…? / Would you mind…?
- "Give me" sounds rude in English. Soften requests with could, would and please.
- Hi Sarah / Dear Ms Jones
- "Hi" plus a first name is standard in work email; "Dear" plus a title is for formal letters.
- Sorry / Excuse me
- Used much more than in Arabic — to get attention, to pass someone, or to ask someone to repeat.
- How are you? — Good, thanks, and you?
- A greeting, not a real question; a short answer is expected.
