Learn American English, American Accent Training!

Hi, my name is George, I came to the US as an adult and despite of living here for 8 years, I still had a strong accent.
The book “American Accent Training” helped me a lot to improve it. The book does not just teach to pronounce separate words but makes you aware of the rythms of the language. Even if you pronounced each word perfectly, no rhythm would make you sound robotically. I memorized one of the exercises in the book and practice it all the time while driving to help in the assimilation of the concepts. Besides, I have also memorized a couple of poems and tongue twisters to practice the pronunciation constantly. I improved a lot in a couple of months.

Good luck

Sorry for disturbing u all here: I'd like to know why are u so interestend in American accent? I mean: we 're talking in English. Isn't English native language of Great Britain's people? And if so, is it right to say that real English is British English?

Here in Italy, people from south speak a very different Italian from northern people but, as we live in the same country, it's impossible to say that we have "different types of Italian language" but just some dialects.

For English language, it's different: it's very particular that people coming from various parts of this earth talk in the same language. But, if it's the same language, why are we making this difference between "American English" and "British English"??? The only important thing, in my opinio, is to use it in the right way.

Indeed, it's so easy to distinguish an American from an English....

I'm really curious about this...but I also understand that my talk is a little bit strange, but U have to understand me...here in Italy it's 01.19 am!!!

Bye!
