In this article I'm going to help you achieve this goal! Here are the best ways to improve your accent.
1.
Practice with Americans Ask your friends if they know any Americans who want to learn your native language in exchange for some help with American English.
If you can't find anyone in your city, then look for a language partner online on sites such as Polyglot Learn Language, Lang-8, Italki or on English message boards for language learners (search for "language exchange [your native language]").
2.
Imitate native speakers while watching movies and listening to podcasts Watch American movies or listen to American podcasts and imitate native speakers while doing it.
It's very easy to repeat aloud after native speakers if you watch movies with subtitles or listen to podcasts with transcriptions (VOA News Special English is a very good podcast for English learners).
3.
Learn the rules Get some lessons on how to learn the rules of an American accent (if you don't know them yet).
Learn how to pronounce every sound, how to stress words and how to speak more naturally (for example learn how to connect words together or link certain letters).
That's it - the best ways to improve your American accent.
Keep in mind that it's all about practice and the best idea is to practice daily.
Thanks to this, you'll improve every single day.
And learning step by step is the key to success! Good luck and have fun while improving your accent!
