Work on your pronunciation and perfect your English with Superprof

Today, we live in a world of heightened tension; one wherein anything about you that's 'other' could cause you a lot of difficulties. In itself, that would be an excellent reason to neutralise a regional accent but things needn't be so dire.

Did you know that, around the world, television presenters, radio hosts and other media personalities are required to speak in a region-neutral accent? For instance, in China, a land of 58 ethnic minorities and countless regional dialects, news anchors must pass an oral language test to measure how well they can speak Putonghua - literally a 'common language'.

It's what the rest of the world refers to as Mandarin.

A prospective career in broadcasting or journalism is an excellent reason to reduce your accent but it's still too specific. What if you had no desire to anchor the nightly news?

It would be a good idea to reduce or neutralise your accent if you wanted to be any type of public speaker, from highest ranking politician to primary school teacher. In fact, many schools prefer or even require their teachers to speak with a mainstream accent.

And the case for reducing your accent goes even further. What if you want to work with a multinational corporation? Even though you speak English, a heavy brogue could cause you to not be understood, especially by people you might have to deal with in other countries whose first language isn't English.

Do You Need Accent Reduction?

As the Irish language itself was standardised in 1958, meaning that pretty much everyone spoke roughly the same language, you might not think that you need to polish up your spoken language skills. Maybe we should rethink that idea.

Despite standardisation, local dialect influence impacts how a language is spoken. This is not unique to Northern Ireland or the Irish language. Across the UK, despite Received Pronunciation being the standard accent for British English, people from Birmingham, with their Brummie accent, may be incomprehensible to anyone from Manchester - a nearby locale with its own vernacular.

Even if you never plan to live or work farther than, say, 25 miles from where you were born, there's still a good chance that you'll have dealings with people who do not have an ear for local dialects.

Let's say you want to launch a podcast to show the world the wonders of life in Northern Ireland. A thick accent would likely make your presentations too hard to understand and, even though plenty of people would love to experience life in Belfast, they might find the language barrier too off-putting.

Accent Reduction for Immigrants

Belfast is home to large communities of Polish, Chinese and Indian people, all of whom no doubt wish to assimilate as quickly as possible into life in their chosen home. Though they're likely not required to learn how to speak Irish, they must learn how to speak English well enough to be understood.

Tone and syllable stress are two of the most challenging aspects those language speakers must overcome. We know well that, in English, how you say certain words can change both their meaning and function. Mandarin speakers have a difficult time pronouncing English words correctly because their native language is tonal, meaning that the tone you speak each syllable in determines its interpretation.

For ESOL speakers, reducing their native accent - the tendency to speak English using their native speech patterns is the greatest challenge.

Accent Reduction Lessons in Belfast

Fortunately, Superprof accent reduction tutors are ready to help speakers of any language, even Irish, reduce their accents. Whether your native language is Italian, Portuguese or Arabic, you can find a Superprof coach to help you improve your English pronunciation.

You may invite them to your home for instruction or take lessons in accent reduction online.

These enthusiastic tutors emphasise practical language usage - buying food and clothing, to make their lessons more memorable.
