Mr. Rahman has been an exceptional personality in different ways. He has been a researcher in the areas of Bangladesh Share Market, Zodiacs, Palmistry, and above all, Received Pronunciation (RP). Basically, he had been frustrated with his practice on BBC pronunciation through listening to BBC World Service for over 30,000 hours. A year ago he discovered one mystery. He improved the Received Pronunciation to a native-standard. To his dismay, it took him 25 years. On the other hand, he has raised the RP of quite a few learners to a very much satisfactory level within 2 months’ lessons through drilling in particular.
...
This success has come from some innovative and life-long research on RP. He has developed many RP practice materials. In these materials he has put together a number of words similar in pronunciation such as words where ‘l’, ‘t’, ‘d’, ‘p’, ‘h’ and ‘r’ are silent. He has also put together the words which are homophones or contain short or long sounds.
...
The pronunciation effect on the participants mainly through pronunciation drills is fascinating and mysterious. And Mr. Rahman applies the most important and effective techniques which create an unbelievable environment where the learners improve the skills rapidly and accurately but forget that they are in the classroom.
