It is but sometimes it feels like a mockery. I went to London and instinctively changed to a British accent and I am pretty sure that some people thought I was making fun of them 🤦♀️
@@constantinadeli6318 Haha yes, it can definitely feel strange (and fake) at first but we are usually much more conscious of our speech than others are - they probably didn't even notice! 😁
Those TH sounds are so hard for me. I've been practising for 3 years now (or is it fffree years :) ) and I can do them very well. But making them flow into sentences is hard.
Yes, it is hard! Keep practising - if you want more practise material and lessons on how to speak with flowing English check out our new online course here: www.speakmoreclearly.com/australian-accent-online-course

Hi Miguel, Yes Shakespeare can be very tricky and especially as often we use grammar differently from Shakespeare's time! Our training specialises in accent neutralisation / reduction and not English grammar- sorry. You may have to look it up on google? Esther
Hi Goulzz, I'm glad you found this video helpful. Tomorrow is said 'tuhmoroe' in standard English. Of course you would use the vowel and consonant sounds from the accent you wanted to speak with.
Hi Esther. Thanks for your video. I would like to know what is the best way to track progress when it comes to accent and pronunciation? I am struggling ..

@@gaminglikepro9613 Hi, Ok. We have detailed video and audio training on how to make the American r sound in our American accent training course.

I can't stick my tongue out far because my tongue frenlum is holding it back. English requires a lot of tongue movement so difficult to pronounce some words
Hi Vammane, for a training lesson on words that have wor in them have a look here: www.speakmoreclearly.com/how-to-pronounce-world-and-other-english-wor-words-audio-lesson/ For words spelled with wor, er, ir (girl), ur, - you need to learn how to pronounce the 'er' vowel -we have audio and video training on this in our courses: www.speakmoreclearly.com/ For 'thw' If you can already pronounce 'th' then slowly control your mouth to have tongue out for 'th' and thenpull your tongue back in and put your lips quite forward for 'w'. There aren't many 'thw' words in English.-thwart
Hi, Yes it's a difficult word for many speakers including people whose first language is English! For the British 'standard' accent it is /ˈfeb.ru.ər.i/ -said: 'Febroouhree ' For the American /ˈfeb.ru.ər.i/ - said: 'Febroouhree' also. For Australian some say 'Febreree' , and some say the same as the British or American. Go with the most common one! It takes a bit of repetition to get it so your mouth gets used to the sequence of movements. Maybe have it as your word of the week and say it 10 times each day. Esther
how does one reduce an accent when they are learning from a person with an english accent, are we only trying to loose accents that are looked down upon? Fight the man don't loose your accent. Be different, love everything different about you, accents add flavor to your language. Even his accent is unique to her. ACCENTS ARE BEAUTIFUL.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for your feedback. You can slow down the speed by clicking the settings cog in the lower right corner of the video on desktop and the top right corner on mobile. This video shows how: th-cam.com/video/KUymMkTpScw/w-d-xo.html
You should be more clear before starting the video that you teaching Australian accent , However there are many words sounded incorrect according to other English accents
Hi Abdo, I see what you are saying. The 'th' tip is the same whichever accent you are practising, and the other practise tips can also be used to consolidate your new accent into your everyday speech no matter which accent. The dark /l/ is slightly different for the British though. Which accent are you studying? Kind regards, Esther
Hi, we'll be glad to help you with that. We have online accent training courses for American, British, and Australian pronunciation. The course can help you improve your English pronunciation and speak confidently, like a native speaker! The course can also help you speak English more clearly and fluently.

Hi Joe. We have online accent courses that can help you reduce your Indian accent and speak like a native speaker. We are also offering one on one coaching so you can get personalised feedback/coaching. Let me know if you'll be interested.
If you say 'f' instead of 'th' you will sound Cockney ( an accent used in East London). If that's the accent you want then go for it. If that's not the accent you want then just practise the 'th'. :)
That’s a great goal! With focused practice, you can definitely neutralize those accents and develop a more balanced pronunciation.

Hi, there are many accents in English. By definition you can't speak any language without an accent. If you change your pronunciation in English you are also changing your accent. Any time you modify vowel sounds it will change the way you speak/sound and therefore, will change your accent. Esther is speaking with an Australian accent in the video but we also provide training for the British accent and American accent. Check out our website: www.speakmoreclearly.com/ for more information. Have a great day :)
Sister, I did not say anything wrong, because I have seen so many youtube videos, they all say the same thing, Do this, do that, you will know how to speak English, no one will tell the solution, because they themselves do not know how to understand, their TH-cam channel will not be famous.
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe we can help you change that hate to like. English nowadays is very important. Let me know if you are interested to learn the English language.
