His Indian accent was strong.  However, about two weeks later, I was able to hear him clearly. So it is a matter of getting used to listening and talking to the people in the country you live in now.

Learn the sounds, learn how to connect words, learn to use a decent intonation, etc. It depends on the variety you want to learn though. For American English, I once read "American Accent Training" by Ann Cook. I found it vital for my English, learned a lot of things and I improved a lot. I can't say anything about British English or other dialects though. Good luck. :) Kooyeen Joined on Thu, Dec 22 2005 Italy Senior Member 4,645 What if I say I'm not like the others?
