English Article

Can I 'neutralize' my accent?
Yes, you can. All you need to do is train yourself to speak English as comfortably and perfectly as you speak your mother tongue.
How do you train yourself? By inculcating certain practices in your daily lifestyle. These will get you closer to sounding like a native English speaker and equip you with a global accent -- and you will speak not American or British English, but correct English.
This is the first step to learn any other accent, be it American or British or Australian.
Lisa Mojsin, head trainer, director and founder of the Accurate English Training Company in Los Angeles, offers these tips to help 'neutralize' your accent or rather do away with the local twang, as you speak.
1. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.
When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.
2. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.
If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you.
Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be understood.
3. Listen to the 'music' of English.

Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'.
4. Use the dictionary.
Try and familiarise yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say.
5. Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.
Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time.
6. Buy books on tape.
Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape.
7. Pronounce the ending of each word.
Pay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.
8. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day.

Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language.
9. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.
Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.
10. Be patient.
You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.
Quick tips
Various versions of the English language exist. Begin by identifying the category you fall into and start by improving the clarity of your speech.
~ Focus on removing the mother tongue influence and the 'Indianisms' that creep into your English conversations.
~ Watch the English news on television channels like Star World, CNN, BBC and English movies on Star Movies and HBO.
~ Listen to and sing English songs. We'd recommend Westlife, Robbie Williams, Abba, Skeeter Davis and Connie Francis among others.



The Other Tips

1. Get a good dictionary. If you need to, a dictionary to translate between your first language and English is best. 2
2. Practice everyday by checking your pronunciation, and learning a few new words. 3
3. Listen to people who speak English. If they talk too fast, kindly ask them to speak slower. 4
4. Learn the grammar with careful study. A teacher may be best for this. 5
5. Talk in English with other speakers, especially those who speak it as a first language. 6
6. Think in English when you have learned it well. Translation in your brain can become confusing after certain points. 7
7. Read Simple English in your spare time, such resources can be found at the Simple English Wikipedia and books written for young children.




How to Speak English Well
If you want to speak English well, then you are probably well aware of the difficulties of doing so. For foreigners, learning to speak English well can be especially difficult since many native English speakers don't use correct English. However, for those who do speak English well, foreigner or not, the rewards can be large. Read below to learn how to improve your spoken English.
1. Assess your level of spoken English. Those at a beginning English level will have different content in their study plan than someone at an advanced English level. The first step to learning to speak English well is making an honest assessment of where you are.
2. Look for free online English tutorials. There is a tremendous amount of free English lessons aimed at improving your spoken English.
3. Practice your spoken English with a native English speaker. However, make sure that this native English speaker can speak English well too! This isn't always the case. If you hear double negatives or a lot of slang, consider getting another native English practice partner.
4. Ask your English practice partner to correct you on any grammar mistakes or pronunciation mistakes. If you are well prepared to receive constructive criticism, you will make large gains in your ability to speak English well.
5. Practice your spoken English at home. Talk through normal tasks that you usually complete in silence. You might even want to try to teach a sibling, parent, or child about what you learned that day. The more that you review and practice, the more easily you will be able to speak English well.
6. Listen to magazine and newspaper recordings in English. If the recording is from a well-established newspaper or magazine, you will likely hear very good English. Try to understand what is being said, and then repeat what you hear. Practicing this will help you speak English well too.

How To Speak Like A Native Speaker
Dear Friend,
• Are you a good English reader, but not a GREAT English speaker?
• Do you feel that textbook English is not teaching you the REAL English you need?
• Is it difficult for you to understand native speakers’ conversations?
• Have you already improved your English, and are you ready to go to a whole new level?
Have you noticed that native speakers rarely use the formal English you learned in school? Why not? Because you learned formal English in school, but most native speakers use casual Conversational English when they speak to each other.
Now I can really speak English!
“I followed your advice. I used the lessons exactly as you said. I downloaded the lessons and listened to them everyday. I used your schedule. Now I can really speak English! I’m so excited. Thanks for helping me finally speak English!”
Mercedes Pintado

Meet Your New Teachers
Hi! Learn Real English was started by A.J. Hoge, Kristin Dodds, and Joe Weiss to help you speak to, and understand, native speakers.
Several years ago, we noticed a problem. Many English students came to America and had very painful experiences. These students knew a lot of grammar. They knew a lot of vocabulary. Some could even speak and understand FORMAL English quite well. They arrived in America feeling very confident.
Then they went on the street… and they were shocked! They could not understand what people said. Every week, a new student came to us and said, “I can understand CNN and the BBC, but I can’t understand what real people are saying at business meetings, at the bus stop, in the store, or at parties.” These students were always quite worried and upset.
We became worried too. So we began to look at the problem. We knew we needed to find the cause of this problem– and then solve it.
After many months of searching, we found the cause and the answer. The cause was simple– real English speakers use a lot of idioms and slang. Real people do not speak like TV announcers. They do not speak like actors. Real people use “street English” and that kind of English is filled with casual idioms, slang, and pronunciation.
Once we discovered the cause of the problem, we worked hard to create a solution… and finally we did! We decided to record REAL conversations between native speakers. No actors. No announcers. No reading. Just real people having real, spontaneous, totally natural conversations.
After recording these conversations, we created text for all of them– because we knew that if you could read the text, you would understand the conversations more easily.
Then we identified all of the difficult idioms, slang, and other special parts of casual, real English conversations. We created vocabulary lessons to help you understand ALL of these phrases– because most of them CANNOT BE FOUND IN A DICTIONARY!
After that, we decided to use the incredibly powerful Effortless English System to teach these phrases (idioms, slang, etc.) to you. Our goal– after listening to all of the lessons you will understand 100% of the real recorded conversations.
After a lot of time and a lot of work, we finally created a complete lesson pack of Learn Real English lessons. Our students were so happy! They could finally learn to speak with REAL people in REAL situations!
We were happy too– because we are here to help and serve our students. That is our mission.
Now, we are happy to help and serve you.
Read the article below to learn more about these incredible Learn Real English lessons (and the powerful Effortless English System).
Now I Can Understand!
“I bought Learn Real English lessons 6 months ago. My main problem was understanding; so I didn’t speak because I wasn’t able to understand the responses.
At the beginning when I listened to the 1st lesson without reading the text I was unable to understand what they were talking about. Today with the 16th lesson (without reading the text even one time before) I happily notice that I can understand 70%!!!”
Michele Tripault, Paris, France
Old Learning Methods
Most English conversation programs don’t teach English conversation. The “conversations” in most books are fake- they are not real. Rather, these “conversations” are merely two actors reading a text.
That’s why textbook conversations are very different from real English conversations.
To understand native speakers, you must listen to real conversations– not fake textbook actors.
To speak easily to native speakers, you must use real conversations and lessons that help you understand them.
So how do you understand real conversations?
The secret is to use both real recorded conversations and the Effortless English system.
It Really Works!
“I can’t believe it. I just finished talking to an American guy for 2 hours. Two hours without worrying or translating. It was so easy. Thank you so much. The system really works.”
Nid, Bangkok, Thailand
Your Success Is Here
You CAN speak REAL English to real native speakers. What is real English? It is the English that native speakers use in real conversations.
REAL English includes slang and idioms. REAL English includes real pronunciation used by real people– not the pronunciation you hear on CNN or the BBC.
REAL English comes from real conversations.
Close your eyes. Now see yourself speaking excellent REAL English. Imagine yourself talking to native speakers.
Imagine understanding their slang, their idioms, their fast speech.
Imagine speaking fast. Imagine using slang and idioms correctly. Imagine speaking with excellent pronunciation.
It is possible in only 6 months!
There is a better way. An easier way to succeed. Change your learning method to change your results.
Learn the better way to speak, hear, and understand real English easily and confidently.

Child’s Play
Why is it that everyone tries to teach English to adults with books filled with grammar rules and endless vocabulary?
In all of the research, one piece of information stands out from the others: children learn to speak any language without textbooks, vocabulary lists, or grammar rules.
They all learn by conversation and very specific methods.
Children have always been the best English learners for that reason. This entire program is taught with REAL English conversations.
That includes many of the slang and idioms used by native English speakers.
We call the specific “rules” of our method “The 7 Rules of Effortless English”. You have probably already read them in our email course.
When taught correctly, English grammar is easy. But the correct way is not by studying grammar books. Grammar can be easy and effortless but you must learn like children do.
“If you want to become like a native speaker, you don’t need to learn when you are a child. You need to use the same methods as a child.”
Dr. J. Marvin Brown
