You will master the general American accent with words, sentences, funny verses, and prose passages. Existence of an accent can be explained by the fact that some English sounds do not exist in your native language or your regional accent/dialect, and your speech organs are not trained for them. Therefore, these sounds may represent a particular difficulty in pronunciation. In this audiobook, we list speakers of world languages and their particular difficulties and practical recommendations. We recommend that you start with the sounds that are the most difficult first.
