OUR RECOMMENDATION!

Accent Master
Computer software for accent reduction

The Accent Master program provides both basic and advanced lessons for learning English pronunciation.You will discover 1000’s of spoken words and examples for you to learn from.

Accent Master has SEPARATE, specialized editions designed to reduce the accent YOUR language brings to your English! When you order you specify the accent you want to reduce.

With just a click of a button you will be able to hear the example, record your own voice and compare the two.

Wave form graphs will help you visually identify the differences between your recording and the speaker models. You will see an animated simulation of the production of the sound, showing you the movement of the tongue, lips, and vocal cords.
Wow! This is cutting edge technology for accent reduction!

Basic lessons focus on listening and speaking at the sound (or phoneme) level.

 In the basic lessons you will learn the specific sounds that speakers of different languages need to learn to reduce their accents. The needs of a Russian speaker are different from those of a Spanish, Hindi, or Chinese speaker. You will view video and animated graphics that teach these sounds.  You will then be able to play games and complete exercises which focus on these sounds in isolation (level 1), use the sound in words (level 2), and using the sound in sentences (level 3).  These basic lessons will increase your intelligibility allowing you to be understood the first time you speak!   

The advanced lessons focus on the three skills foreign speakers need in order to sound fluent.  They are word stress, linking, and intonation.  We present video instruction, audio examples, listening games & exercises, and recording exercises in each of these three areas. 

A brief list of our features includes:

  • Record and compare yourself to a model with just the click of a button.

  • Focus on the sounds you need to master your English pronunciation.

  • Play interactive listening and speaking games for every skill.

  • See video of an authentic American speaker producing each sound.

  • Perfect your execution of each sound using our animated side view of the mouth.
