Free Accent Tutorials

If you are interested in developing a standard American English accent, you have come to the right place. This tutorial provides free training that will allow you to learn the accurate pronunciation of each sound in American English. An accent is comprised of three basic components: pronunciation, intonation, and connection.  Variations with these three factors cause one to speak with their specific accent. The purpose of this tutorial is to teach you how to first hear the sound correctly, then produce the sound in isolation and finally at the word level.
