Robby Kukurs from Accent Adventure reveals how any non-native English speaker can learn to speak with American and also British English pronunciation by following a few simple rules and doing plenty of spoken English practicing! Robby strongly believes – which is backed up by his personal accent acquisition experience – that there’s no such a thing as accent reduction in the common sense of the word whereby we’re looking into the mirror for hours on end while trying to change our inherited sound production mechanisms and tongue placement when speaking. Instead, we simply have to repeat entire sentences by focusing on certain sounds and then the whole accent learning thing becomes so much easier!
