Work on your pronunciation and perfect your English with Superprof

If you’re Yorkshire through and through, but you’re often misunderstood when you venture outside of the beautiful region, accent reduction might just be something you could be something you can benefit from.

What is accent reduction?

Far from being a process to eradicate the accent that defines you to some extent, accent reduction is all about communicating clearly even when you were born with a strong accent.

In a world which is becoming more global and remote with each passing year, communication is key, and it isn’t enough to rely on body language when many interactions take place via video call. Being able to get your message across clearly is paramount to success in many careers, and for socializing without worrying about being misunderstood every few words or sentences.

Along the way to working towards a clearer, more neutral accent, you’ll learn a lot about yourself and gain a lot of confidence which will help you speak up in any situation.

What to expect working with a tutor

Accent reduction isn’t easy, so most people decide to work with a tutor when they embark on the journey.

It isn’t that you can’t do it by yourself, but that working with a tutor will prevent hours of frustration, and fast-track your progress so you don’t have to spend many months or even years trying to master your new accent.

Going it alone isn’t advisable, because accent reduction isn’t easy to accomplish.

If you’ve ever spent time learning a foreign language, you’ll know that while you can pick up words and phrases fairly quickly, the accent is nearly always a stumbling block that trips you up. 

How many native English speakers do you know that can let Italian roll off the tongue with a suave Tuscan accent?

How many of your English friends can utter a Spanish phrase with a smattering of trilled ‘r’s’ without tripping up or reverting to the English pronunciation of the letter?

While accent reduction isn’t the same as learning a new language, there’s a lot of overlap.

It’s almost as if you have to imagine you’re learning English from scratch, at least how you pronounce letters and words. This process of unlearning and relearning is time-consuming and can get the better of you if you don’t have the right kind of help in your corner.

That’s what makes a tutor an instrumental part of many people’s journey to a more neutral accent.

The main challenges of accent reduction

As we’ve already alluded to, the principal challenge with accent reduction is going through the process of unlearning and relearning how you speak English. 

Learning to enunciate every syllable with crystal clear clarity isn’t as easy as some TV shows would have you believe. It takes a lot of time, and practice, to get to a place where your accent is recognized as the ‘Queen’s English’.

You have to be willing to commit to retraining your accent every day since it will be so easy to slip back into old habits and let the accent you were born with taking over.

The benefits of accent reduction

Reducing your accent can be a highly beneficial activity for your career, your confidence, and your social life.

Let’s start with career.

In a professional environment, clarity of communication is king. If your coworkers, team members, or anyone else at work can’t understand you every once in a while, it can breed frustration and lead to misinterpretations.

If you’re tasked with giving a presentation to your superiors on your numbers for the past quarter, and you’re asked to repeat what you’ve said several times, it’ll knock your confidence and likely throw you off your game.

That’s why working towards a more neutral accent can help you thrive in your workplace - whether physical or virtual - as you won’t have to worry about misinterpretations affecting how others perceive your professionalism.

In terms of confidence and your social life, being understood is key.

If you’re in the middle of telling a funny story or giving a presentation, and you’re interrupted with a ‘huh?’ or ‘what was that?’ mid-flow, it can be disheartening and ruin the vibe. 

Plus, having a strong accent is sometimes a reason to feel self-conscious, since there’s a fear of being misunderstood by the bartender or the person we’re on a date with.
