All Americans speak with their own "brand" of American accent, but do all of them know how to teach others how to sound like them? We know that American English sounds different from Filipino English, but do we know what the differences are exactly? There's no doubt the best way to get the accent is through exposure to the accent itself, but how many people have the opportunity to spend some time in the US?

Why do you need to live in the US in order to get exposure to the American accent? Do you think that living in the US gives you the guarantee that you are exposed to English?

I agree there's no single book that can make you speak like an American. But to effectively teach students how to get the American accent and pronunciation, you need a good book. You need a good book to jump start the learning process.

Why do you need books if you want to change your accents? Do you really think you can "teach" somebody to "get the American accent and pronunciation"? How exactly do you want to do that?

Hi K,

Sorry for the late reply -- I haven't checked this thread in a while.

Just so you have some background info on me, I partly own a Training Center in Makati, where I'm also an active trainer. Having said that, you can see how there would be a conflict of interest if I decide to work with your company.

However, if you're looking for English Trainers or American Accent Trainers, you may be interested in checking out some of our graduates.

Check my profile here to get my email address if you're interested in this idea.

Thanks,
Arvin G.
