Want to sound more natural in your target language? In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I would train my pronunciation and reduce a foreign accent from scratch.
Getting rid of an accent isn’t just about “listening more.” It’s about retraining the sounds, rhythm, stress, intonation, and physical habits you bring from your native language.
I break down the exact system I’d use:
• Learn the sound system of your target language
• Stop relying on spelling for pronunciation
• Choose one native speaker as your pronunciation model
• Use shadowing to copy native speech
• Record yourself and compare
• Train rhythm, stress, intonation, and prosody
• Get massive amounts of native input
• Follow a simple 20-minute daily accent routine
I learned Spanish as a second language, and these are the principles I would use if I had to start over and wanted to develop the most natural accent possible.
The basic formula:
Hear it → Imitate it → Record it → Correct it → Repeat.
