Work on your English pronunciation whenever you wish (without embarrassment) with this easy to follow tutoring program. 

You will not learn correct pronunciation from a book.
                     - It may sound obvious but you cannot improve your speech without actually speaking
.

Here is a way to learn the correct pronunciation and do speech training exercises anywhere you have a PC.
Simply copy the lip movements, speech patterns and accent of the video presenter.

English words are made up of multiple sounds represented by letters. To speak English clearly it is essential to correctly pronounce these basic sounds. Without these basic phonics, word building and consequently conversation is always difficult. The way phonics are pronounced also determines a speaker’s accent.

The ‘Mouth Gym’ PCVIDEOCD program provides training exercises for the alphabet letters, consonants plus vowels and blended consonants (both beginning and ending) plus vowels. The phonics practised are then used in words in a sentence. The work-out strengthens the mouth and tongue muscles which are needed to form unfamiliar phonics. Once phonics are mastered, unfamiliar words can be broken down into sounds resulting in more confident pronunciation and understandable speech. For maximum results, it is recommended that combination exercises be practised daily, concentrating on weak areas.

The ‘Mouth Gym’ circuit uses hundreds of multimedia audio and video clips for interactive training.
Users can interact at their own pace and ensure correct pronunciation by copying the native Australian English speaker and watching her lip movements. You can even record yourself to compare pronunciations.

Guidelines for using Mouth Gym to establish correct Australian English Pronunciation.

If English is not your first language, there will be sounds in the English language you have never heard before.
These are the sounds you will need to practise the most.


Knowing how to correctly pronounce phonic sounds is the first step to clear, understandable speech.

Practice is the road to spontaneous pronunciation - there is no substitute for repetition.
Practice is a simple, yet powerful way to improve English pronunciation and accent.

1. Select Foundational Phonics Training -Assess and learn all of the phonics and phonic blends.
Listen to the Alphabets, individual phonics and all vowels for sounds that are unfamiliar orare difficult for you to pronounce. Note these for further attention.  When fluent with these foundations:-

2. Go to the Individual Phonics section to select and practise phonic and vowel combinations.

3. Proceed to the Phonic Blend Training pages to practise the problem phonic in a blended phonic and vowel combination. Once confident with all of your previous ‘problem sounds’

4. Go to the Advanced Page and practice until the pronunciation comes naturally.
When phonics are pronounced easily and fluently, the flow-on effect is improved, more confident speech and a reduction in accent. All words are constructed using phonic sounds. Words break down or decode using phonics.

5. Vocabulary - Grammar - Conversation Training
Australian 'talk radio' is a great medium to listen to pronunciation, speech rhythm, word stress, accent and idioms. Listen and mimic the speakers to practise speaking like an Australian. Links are also provided to ‘test your grammar’ and ‘improve your vocabulary’.

Mp3 files of all of the exercises are included on the CD so you can use your iPod to practise whilst travelling or you can burn the ones that you require most to your own personal training CD for use whilst driving.

This program provides flexibility training for the mouth and tongue to move in unfamiliar ways
- enabling better sound formation and greatly reducing the users native accent.

Are you frustrated when you aren't being understood?
Are you tired of repeating yourself over and over? 
Do you want increased success in your career and socially?
