  1. Write 8–10 sentences a day on a particular topic. It can be emails, letters, or your thoughts. Do not worry too much about grammar mistakes, they can be corrected by Grammarly, just practise, practise practise…

  2. Read small articles or passages daily

  3. Practice daily for 15–25 minutes with professional apps based on RP.
    The most useful tool for learning English is the app Elocution Lessons. You will master the most commonly used words and phrases, verses and passages with correct pronunciation and perfect use of English. You can listen, record yourself and then compare your speech with the model - all in one app.

Once you have mastered your use of English and pronunciation, I recommend that you download the app Fluent English Speech to bring your English to the next level. With Fluent English Speech, you will master connected speech patterns and sound more like a native English speaker, because English speak linking words in a phrase. You will also learn lots of idiomatic and colloquial expressions used by native English speakers with this app. Many students make the mistake of memorising separate words and create expressions with them. We believe that it is more useful to memorise phrases to avoid phrasal mistakes.

Once you sorted out your fluency, vocabulary and pronunciation, I recommend that you download the app Power, Pitch, Pace, Pause to master your presentation skills in English necessary to advance in your career and study.

Get Rid of your Accent UK1 is the number one app to master articulation and clear speech. You need to have at least an intermediate level of English to work with this app as it was designed for native English speakers who go to London drama schools to master Received Pronunciation; it contains lots of verses and sentences from English literature. This app will immensely enrich your vocabulary as well. In all these apps, there is a link in “How to use this app” to the page: the difficult sounds typical for your nationality. Click on your nationality to work effectively with a more focused approach.

If you want to bring your English to a professional level download the app ‎Business English Speech. It is written in the style of the Financial Times and Economist. With this app, you will learn words and expressions that will help you read high-quality journalism and speak like a CEO.

To get the best results with these apps, download the video courses Get Rid of your Accent Part 1 and Get rid of your Accent Part 2.
