| Our Vision Lanstar’s vision is to become the pre-eminent supplier of spoken English, pronunciation and fluency programmes. What We Do Lanstar has developed the world’s most advanced, interactive and systematic spoken English learning curriculum, ranging from the needs of the most basic English through to high level, customised courses designed for business leaders and specialist practitioners. How We Do It Created by our founder Dr Robert Paech, Lanstar has developed and patented a simple phonetic system to make it easy for everyone to learn to speak English fluently - The Paech Phonetic System. |
Although English appears complex the English language is made up of 49 sounds - 23 vowels and 26 consonants. Once you learn these sounds and how they combine and the rules in using these sounds you’re ready to speak English. Our Products Lanstar’s products can be delivered in facilitated mode for a classroom environment; e-learning mode for self-paced distance learning; or a blended combination of both modes. Lanstar’s easy to use software, helpful tools and step by step tutorials allow you to SEE and HEAR: • how a word is built with letters • how pieces of a word sound • how a whole word sounds and what it means |
• the use of words stresses, inflections and intonations • and how to build up sentences and conversations Paech Phonetics uses 5 basic rules 1. Vowels are coded red 2. Consonants are coded blue 3. Digraphs are underlined (a digraph is where two letters combine to form a new sound) 4. Silent letters are grey 5. The number above a letter (superscript) defines the sound from one of the 49 sounds of English  |
