My suggestion is to really put special effort into it. I am talking about full immersion in the sounds you want to produce. Be discriminative about what you are listening to, pick a news reader, a favorite movie star (or such) of the same gender. Use your computer to find the material (eg. iTunes), use it also to give you feeback (record and hear yourself). There is nothing wrong with having your own special accent, all you need to be concerned about is clarity.http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowToGetRidOfMyAccent/hrlmb/post.htm#588355Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:05:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:588355Tofuu1http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowToGetRidOfMyAccent/hrlmb/post.htm#588355http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments22-588355.xmlnot all people would be able to get rid of their accent. I guess you can try just practicing the baisc pronunciation and getting it right, for example 'th' is one alot of people don't day correctly and say a 'd' sound insteadhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/HowToGetRidOfMyAccent/hrlmb/post.htmFri, 23 Jan 2009 20:05:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:588031Anonymous2http://www.englishforums.com/English/HowToGetRidOfMyAccent/hrlmb/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments22-588031.xmlI've lived her 3 years, i got here when i was 10, and still, i can't get rid of my accent. My best friend(she also got here 3 years ago, same age, from the same place) her accent is mostly gone, yet she speaks mostly with latino people, her brother is a year older, and the same. In my house we speak spanish, but all my friends except my bff are english speakers, and i watch movies in english, listen to music in english, everything, i read in english too, but i can't get rid of this accent. YES, for many people accents are interesting, but not in middle school, where the moment you speak people burst out laughing.
