In this 39 video series about pronunciation skills  Adrian Underhill demonstrates why it's important for native and non-native teachers to take a practical approach to teaching pronunciation. 

This series examines in detail the Phonemic chart,  the three levels of pronunciation, the physicality of pronunciation and the 'muscle buttons'. We then have some recommendations for native and non-native pronunciation teachers and the best way to help English students with unfamiliar sounds.  Following up we have a series of videos on using the Phonemic chart to teach pronunciation of particular sounds in a very interactive and engaging way.

Start watching now to learn more about the Phonemic Chart, explore the physicality of pronunciation, and find tips  to effectively teach pronunciation in your language classes.
