They’re the words every non-native speaker dreads. Your English is good. So why do people keep asking you to repeat yourself?
There’s nothing wrong with having an accent. But speaking with more clarity can make conversations easier and help you get taken seriously at work, at school, and everywhere else.
Whether you’re advancing your career, furthering your education, or just want to feel more confident socially, ALTA’s Accent Reduction Online Training is built to get you there.
Our lessons don’t just tell you how a sound should be pronounced. They show you, step by step.
Step 1: Learn the mouth position
Every English sound comes down to how you position your tongue, teeth, and lips. Detailed anatomical videos break down each sound so you can see exactly how to make it.
Step 2: Practice it in real words
Hear each sound used by multiple native speakers, then repeat along with them until the syllable stress, intonation, and pronunciation feel natural.
Step 3: Use it in real sentences
Put the sound to work in full sentences, absorbing the word stress, rhythm, and pitch of natural American speech until it’s simply how you talk.

Still have questions?
Start with a short assessment to identify the sounds and prosodic patterns that reduce intelligibility, then practice targeted sounds, word stress, linking, and sentence rhythm. Use phonetic cues (tongue/lip/air placement), minimal-pair drills, shadowing, slowed deliberate practice, recording + self-review, and role-play to transfer skills to real situations. Daily focused practice (even 10–20 minutes) combined with corrective feedback produces the fastest, most reliable gains.
