Accent Reduction When it comes to accent reduction, it all comes down to developing an ear. So, we need to develop an ear, but how can we do that? Well, this is the fun part. Actually, is not enough to hear a lot of English, you also need to imitate what you hear. In fact, one thing that you can do is to choose someone that you like, search a video and imitate everything that person says, stop the video and repeat the lines with the same intonation, practicing the music of the language and when you feel you've mastered the first sentence, then go on to the next little phrase. And most importantly, when you imitate that person, try to exaggerate, make the sounds big because you want to train the organs of articulation, you want to train the tongue the cheeks the lips the whole mouth. Well, personally the best advice that I’ve been given and the one that I want to share with you today is that the whole thing in accent reduction is to hear the music of the language, because the problem in many cases is that when we speak in English, we tend to speak it with the rhythm pattern of our native language. And there is where the mistake lies. ** Please, feel free to change anything in order to make it more conversational. Thanks :D
