The videos in the Pronunciation Tips section of this site are presented by Alex Bellem. At the time these videos were made in early 2008 Alex was lecturing part-time in the Linguistics Department at SOAS and was working as a Pronunciation Linguist in the BBC's Pronunciation Unit. The videos were shot by J-P Newman and many thanks to Matt Cleghorn for his enormous contribution to their editing. Thanks also to Professor J C Wells for his insights.
