Learn about homophones and homographs, study the Phonemic Chart and have fun practising tongue twisters.

*Please note, accent is not the same as pronunciation. This course focuses on learning how to pronounce English words correctly to overcome communication problems, it is not designed to help you develop an English accent.
Fashion English.
Everything you need to know in order to communicate effectively in the fashion industry. This course is ideal for those who want to pursue a career in fashion or for those who already work in the field but feel that their English is a barrier. With over 12 years experience working as a fashion designer, I have created this programme based on my extensive knowledge of the global fashion industry and the problems that occur when failing to communicate in English. Misunderstandings cause delays and production problems. Not being able to express your ideas to suppliers can result in limited creativity. Language barriers contribute to bad relationships with clients or suppliers. Learn about all things fashion, from technical terminology for specification packs to talking about trends to presenting your ideas to buyers.
