What is an accent?

An accent is the unique way in which people pronounce words in a particular area or country. If you speak their language but don’t shape the sounds correctly, stress the proper syllables or use the same flow, you will develop a different accent. You should consider improving your accent if people have difficulty understanding you. You can start the process by taking accent reduction training with a qualified trainer.

Foreign accents are developed by people who are not native speakers of the targeted language. For example, people who speak American English as a second language sound different and don't have the same language sound a native American speaker does.

Even though having an accent is completely natural, many times it makes people reluctant to speak. You can improve your American accent drastically by enrolling in an accent reduction course. This will help you to improve your speaking skills and achieve the right sound modifications that lead to clear, understandable speech.

Why Accent Reduction?

Do people misunderstand you when you talk? Do you feel frustration from having to repeat yourself?

In today’s global marketplace, speaking clear, understandable American English is very important. Ineffective communication due to a strong accent can create barriers in contacting businesses in the US and around the world, especially for foreign professionals.

However, having an accent is a natural part of any language. When you study American English, your training should also include learning how to use your voice in a different way and how to make new movements with your tongue, lips and jaw in order to make new sounds or change old ones. This is a new skill that will improve your accent and can easily be developed with accent reduction training.

Our accent reduction program will provide you with all the necessary tools to improve your speaking skills so that others can understand you. A qualified accent reduction trainer can help you learn the sounds, stress patterns, rhythm, and intonation patterns of American English. This is a separate process from learning the grammar and vocabulary of American English and is key to improve your American accent.

At Executive Language Training, our customized one-on-one training is the most effective and convenient way to improve your American accent! Our 4-step method results in accent modification and improvement and leads to easily understandable conversational speech. Your course will be customized to your individual needs and job-related requirements.
