The 22 sounds are the same for everyone

We have written twelve first-language guides so far, and yours is not one of them yet. That changes nothing about where to start: English has the same 22 sounds whoever is speaking it, and these two guides are built on exactly that.

Which language should we write next?

Tell us your first language and we will know which guide to write next. The field is optional — the guides above are yours either way.

Want to know when the next guide lands?

Every guide on this site is free to download right now — you do not need to give us anything. If you would like a note when we publish a new one, leave your email.

We use your email for one thing: to tell you when a new guide is published. We do not send marketing, and we do not pass it to anyone. Ask us at info@speakclearlymethod.com and we will delete it.
