I have a Spanish friend that finds these courses very interesting. Was there ever a course for improving a non-native speaker's English?

Whether it's FSI or something similar, we'd be grateful for any suggestions or comments.

He knows a fair bit of English but wants to work on his pronunciation and make the language come to him more naturally.

Yes, there are a lot of online English language schools you can find. But, you can help your friend a lot by talking to him/her of the language frequently.

Thanks for the reply.

My post wasn't very clear. We were looking for an English course that really gets to grips with pronunciation, stress and intonation like the FSI courses do.
 
I don't think my friend needs that so much now. His English has improved greatly. A tip: listen to audio books while reading them in print.

Another thing that your friend could do is enquire at the local library. Ours organizes one-on-one Teaching English as a Second Language instruction sessions; maybe yours does too.
