Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take me to improve my accent?
Similar to fitness goals or learning to play an instrument, it all comes down to how much you practice. The more you practice and integrate your newly learned sounds into everyday speech, the greater change you will see.
Can I sound 100% like a native speaker?
Most adults unfortunately will not achieve a completely native speech, however some still can. The goal is to learn new ways of speaking that help you reduce your native accent and speak with improved clarity and confidence. This is all achievable through dedication and practice.
