Are you looking for the best way to learn the rules of an American accent? If so, keep reading, because I'm going to help you.
In this article I'm going to tell you what the best way to work on your accent is.
This method works like a charm - many people speak with a really good accent because they tried this method.
Read on.
In my opinion, the best way to learn an American accent (that is: learn the rules of pronunciation, intonation and so on) is to invest in an accent course - an audio course or a video course (video is better, because you can learn how to correctly place your tongue, open your mouth etc.
).
Here are the good news: most accent courses are under $100 or even $50.
And it gets even better: you can learn the basics for free from YouTube or iTunes.
Okay, but why an accent course is the best way to learn the rules of an American accent? Because...
1.
You aren't able to figure it on your own easily There are dozens of rules.
It's hard to figure them on your own and I'm sure that when you start learning, you will be amazed that you didn't notice them before (and therefore you weren't speaking correctly).
2.
It's fast You can learn an accent by imitating native speakers on a daily basis.
It takes a lot of time, but it can be done.
However, if you want to learn really quickly (you can greatly improve your accent within a few weeks or months) and understand how an accent "works", an accent course is for you.
3.
It's interesting Or at least more interesting than repeating after native speakers day by day.
And if something is interesting, it's easier to concentrate on it and learn way more effectively.
And that's why it's the best way to learn the rules of an American accent.
Give it a shot.
Good luck and have fun while improving your accent!
