How long should it take to improve your American accent?

I've been teaching English for 20 years and I can tell you, it's actually shocking how quickly you can start changing your English speaking voice in a way that people really notice.

The imperative

Take Rafiq, whose native language is Arabic.

He was already working with a private tutor, a native speaker of English.

But what actually made the difference in his voice, in his English speaking, was training in Rachel's English Academy.

Rafiq said, after just one week, my tutor, a native speaker I meet with once a week, noticed a big difference.

She literally told me, whatever you're doing, keep doing it.

That moment really showed me how effective the Academy is.

He saw, when you have the right tools, improvement doesn't have to take forever.

Alejandro, a Spanish speaker, said, I'm very happy with this course because with only three weeks, I can feel that I'm improving in my speaking and listening skills.

And a third student, native language French, said after three weeks, he could feel his brain changing.

My English is improving on words that reduce.

These are students in Rachel's English Academy, and right now, Rachel's English Academy is on sale 60 to 70% off.

For just a few more days, you can get an incredible deal and try the training out for yourself.

And if you're not convinced that the method works for you, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee.

Just let us know and we'll cancel and refund you.

But I don't think you're going to want to do that because when students see what works, they get hooked.

After three weeks in the Academy, Herminia, native language Spanish, said, I've been noticing improvements.

Over 40,000 students have gone through this program, and I've just now finished my newest course, Essentials, the most effective program I've ever created for mastering the American accent.

After 20 years of teaching, I know what works.

It's science-backed, designed with clarity, and all you have to do is show up and put in the time.

With Essentials, I ask students to dedicate around 25 minutes a day for about five weeks.

That's enough to master nine micro skills of the American accent, covering all topics like vowels, consonants, rhythm, stress, melody, linking, and placement.

In Essentials, I break the American accent down into micro skills.

It's not for beginners, and it's not about learning grammar or vocabulary.

Of course, you'll learn and be exposed to new vocabulary, but what you're is speaking fluency and understandability through accent reduction.

This is for intermediate to advanced students.

You might already have an amazing command of English.

You may have lived in the US for years, but you want to polish your American English voice.

Look, the most important thing for you to know right now is you can do this.

If you've been working on your English for 20 years, and you're still not happy with your accent, it's not about you.

It's about the way you've been taught, the method you've been given.

This is where the concept of micro skills comes in.

I've been able to break the American accent down into the smallest topics for mastery.

The work you do is so focused, it's truly unavoidable to improve.

You do what's called deliberate practice on the micro skill with thorough, comprehensive, easy-to-use lessons, and you master it.

You let your body do the learning through the training.

The exercises are there for you, and you do them.

With the micro skills, you don't work generally with phrases.

You start smaller than that, with the rhythmic building blocks of the language.

Your mind and body can't perfect a bunch of topics at once.

That is useless practice and a waste of time.

Any sentence has multiple sounds and multiple rhythms happening all at once.

Are you ever actually focused on one micro skill?

When you're working with 10 things at once, that's ineffective.

No matter what your level of ease of speaking English is today, focused work on micro skills will change everything for you.

I'm so excited for you to try Essentials and have the same kind of breakthroughs that Rafiq had, that Alejandro had.

Let me show you a little bit of what you'll get in Essentials.

The core course of Essentials is made up of modules, each with several parts.

In each module, we'll go over the method you'll need to master the topic at hand.

Essentials is built on the concept of micro skills and helping you master them.

We've broken the whole big concept of American English down into micro skills, so you can do very focused practice and make real progress.

Throughout the modules, you'll learn the science of why we're working the way we are.

We build in so much exposure and repetition that there's no way not to improve.

You'll study clips from our live classes to understand exactly the changes you need to make to your own voice to sound confident speaking English.

Essentials is built on the play it, say it method.

I don't want you to waste even one day learning about something.

This course is not about simply learning something.

It's about getting it into your with the training.

There's so much repetition and exposure that you can't help but master these micro skills with a deliberate practice we've given you.

The training audio comes in multiple forms, including soundboards, so you can guide your own practice.

And downloadable audio with pauses built in, so you can do the training on the go, in your car, when you're going for a walk, and so on.

There's variety in the kinds of audio exercises you'll be working with, but they all work towards the same goal, speaking effortlessly without having to think about pronunciation, understanding and building the habit of the American accent.

We have visualization exercises, and we also teach you how to record yourself and listen to yourself to become your own best coach.

The students who have gone through Essentials absolutely love it because they feel the difference in their own fluency, and the people around them notice it too.

You are not going to sound native after five or six weeks.

If anyone tells you that, don't believe them.

But you will get mastery of some of the micro skills of the American accent, and more importantly, you'll see how the process works.
