Foreign Accent Modification

What is the secret of increasing your chances of succeeding at accent modification training and getting noticed at work?

 

Answer:  Choosing materials that are fun, easily accessible and easy to use so that your interest and desire to become better understood continue. 

 

The problem with modifying a foreign accent is that it takes commitment, perseverance and a strong desire to succeed.  The obstacles that get in the way of that are:

 

1. Lack of time to practice the lessons.

 

2. Boring study materials.

 

3. Insufficient feedback about progress.

 

If you are looking for a simple, easy online method to modify your accent that gives you feedback about your pronunciation efforts and charts your progress over time, then we have an answer for you! 

 

Have you tried CDs, books or tapes only to discover that you are unsure whether or not you practiced correctly? 

 

Are you bored with the materials that you are using?
