The Oxford Dictionary defines “Accent” as, “a distinctive mode of pronunciation of a language, especially one associated with a particular nation, locality, or social class.”
But… As a speech coach online, I often read and hear people say that they don’t have an accent.
Here’s the truth: ALL of us have an accent.
However, “foreign accents” refers to when a person speaks a language but uses sounds or rules from their first language.
Inevitably, this can lead to confusion for the person listening. For example, when things aren’t pronounced correctly, the listener may misunderstand the message.
And this is where an accent coach (much like myself!) comes into play.
An accent coach can help you communicate properly and confidently, helping you break through the barriers of your innate accent. For more information, get in touch with me today!
