Publisher's Synopsis
Engineering your accent is easy. You just need the right framework.The traditional view is that improving an accent is hard. If you want to sound like a native speaker, you must grow up around the language or work on it actively for years. Sometimes it even takes a lifetime of practice before you get rid of your accent.But this is wrong. If you take a first principles approach and start with sounds instead of individual words, you can engineer an American accent (or any accent!) in as little as 10 weeks.Engineer Your Accent walks you through each step of the process, covering both the theory of accent engineering and the practice of actually adjusting your accent so you sound virtually indistinguishable from a native speaker.You'll never look at your accent the same way again after reading this book. You'll also have what you need to confidently engineering your accent so you sound like a local no matter where you grew up.
