Regaining Long-lost Listening Skills

The trouble with starting accent training after you know a great deal of English is that you know a great deal about English. You have a lot of preconception and, unfortunately, misconceptions about the sound of English.

A Child Can Learn Any Language

Every sound of every language is within every child. So, what happens with adults? People learn their native language and stop listening for the sounds that they never hear; then they lose the ability to hear those sounds. Later, when you study a foreign language, you learn a lot of spelling rules that take you still further away from the real wound of that language-in this case, English. What we are going to do here is teach you to hear again. So many times, you’ve heard what a native speaker said, translated it into your own accent, and repeated it with your accent. Why? Because you  “knew”  how to say it.
