Which sounds to fix first, which to leave alone, and how to teach the schwa to a Spanish or Korean speaker without losing them by lesson three.
Most pronunciation courses fail because they try to teach the whole sound system. You should not. Pick the two or three sounds that block your student's intelligibility and fix those first. Everything else can wait, possibly forever. Native speakers have accents and nobody minds. Your goal is clarity, not a Mid-Atlantic voice.
Diagnose before you teach
In lesson 1, do a ten-minute diagnostic. Have the student read a paragraph aloud, then describe a photo for two minutes. Mark only the sounds that blocked your understanding. Not every imperfect sound. The ones that genuinely made you pause. That is the syllabus, in priority order. Two or three is normal. Anything more and you are overteaching.
The schwa is the best return for your time
Almost no other language has it. It is the most common sound in English. Students who learn to reduce unstressed syllables to schwa go from sounding foreign to sounding clear in two weeks. Teach it first, even before the famous TH. Use "banana" as the anchor word. Three schwas. They will hear it forever after.
