About Get Rid of Your Accent UK 1
Get Rid of your Accent is a phenomenon. Seven years ago, we created an instant hit, the best-selling pronunciation book in the UK. Our second and third books make us the most popular books and CD package around. Actors, lawyers, brokers, businessmen, and diplomats have flourished with our help. The success of the book led to another venture: Intensive 3 weeks Accent Reduction courses for diplomats, professionals and students in London and Skype lessons for those outside London. The courses start at the beginning of each month. Visit batcs.co.uk for testimonials and pictures and if you want to book Skype lessons or a course.
Now Get Rid of your Accent is where it's always needed to be: on GooglePlay. You can get the best of our amazing lessons in one easy-to-use app that goes everywhere with you. Hear the sounds; see how to make them; practice; and watch your career, education, and social life blossom.

Get Rid of your Accent UK Part 1 App is the British English Pronunciation Course at your fingertips, ideal for self-study. It contains 42 audio lessons from the international bestseller Get Rid of your Accent, Part One, by Linda James and Olga Smith (learn more on Developer's Website).

Definitely the best system for getting rid of a foreign accent I've ever seen. I have tried many books and (Cambridge for example) and this is the only system that really delivers the change it promises. It really works. Recording yourself and comparing with the recordings included is really easy. Totally worth the price.

Ok, app. is really great, but it lacks the most essential part in learning a proper pronunciation-the phonetic transrciptions .No matter how hard I try my recordings wouldn't sound like the original ones because I just simply don't know where to put stress or where to reduce and connect the sounds .Please consider adding it, it would be of great help .

Good app. But very annoying record feature. When you press record it beeps for you to start recording but there's actually a 2 second lapse. Gets annoying after a while. I did email Olga about this but she didn't comment on this issue. Otherwise a good app, better than the book. If they eliminate the bug = 5*.

Definitely the best app on the market when it comes to teaching a British accent. The problem is that some words/sentences cannot be played. Also in some situations the app does "force close". Since this program is quite expensive it would be nice if it was fully working.

The methods used are clear and effective and was a pleasure to use. I have tried other similar Apps but did not find them as good. Even after practicing just for a short time I could hear the improvement. It made it fun and it works!

Although the price seemed high to me, it's the book for English pronunciation. It was great to get a response from Olga herself. The app is missing a tool to recognize my pronunciation and give me correction feedback (maybe on percentages). I'll edit my feedback after finishing the process. If I'll get a clear pronunciation at the end (a perfect RP) as a Turkish born, I'll be grateful.
