Every week I get lots of questions from my readers. The most frequently asked question is- “How can I reduce my accent?”
That’s a great question!
Although most people will never sound like a native American English speaker, everyone is capable of reducing their accent and making their speech more comprehensible. As an adult learner you will continue to have an accent. But you can change your speech so that American listeners will understand you and this will make speaking English much more enjoyable!
One of the most effective and efficient ways to reduce your accent is to get an ACCENT ASSESSMENT. An accent assessment will tell you the specific pronunciation features that YOU need to learn in order to reduce your accent.
Using the results of your ACCENT ASSESSMENT you can focus on the areas of your pronunciation that keep American English speakers from understanding you. You won’t need to spend time working on vowel and consonant sounds that are not problematic.
You can read more about getting an ACCENT ASSESSMENT here. This is a very valuable service for serious students who want to reduce their accent without wasting precious time or money!
If you are still uncertain about how accent assessments work please listen to this article on Accent Improvement.
