Hey, what's up?

Stephanie, the English coach here from English fulltime .com.

Welcome to part two of how to change your accent.

In this video, I am going to give you as much advice as I can, as if you were my best friend,

and I'm trying to help you and teach you and tell you

and share with you everything I know about how to change your accent.

But I'm also going to try to do it in a way where this video doesn't become 20 hours long,

because this could easily be a seminar.

I I have so much to share with you, so much to tell you, so much to teach you.

And this time I also have some really awesome resources to share with you.

So in part one, I told you my story.

I told you how I learned Spanish

and then how I changed my accent as an adult to have the accent that I have today.

So if you want to hear that story, go watch it after this video.

I also show you how I speak Spanish in that video if you want to see that as well.

Now, before we get into any of my tips, I have two things that I wanna share with you.

One, I recorded some videos with my brother for my YouTube channel.

I think you are going to love them.

In one of the videos, we talk about Gen Z slang.

So if you like learning about slang in English, you're gonna love this video.

And in the other video, we talk about doing interviews in English.

He works in cybersecurity and he had recently interviewed people for a position in his company

and so we share some really good tips and advice in that video.

Now, if you are not subscribed to my channel,

now is a great time to subscribe so you do not miss anything that I have coming up for you.

And the second thing I want to share is

if you're interested in improving your pronunciation in English or working on your accent,

or if you want to learn to sound like me with the accent I use in English,

then I want to invite you to join my Fluent Pronunciation Challenge.

This is a seven day challenge.

It's totally free and it has some of my best pronunciation and accent training.

I want you to see what it's like to learn with me in a structured environment, in a structured way.

So go ahead and sign up for that.

I will leave the link in the description.

Anyways, without further ado, let's get into the video and let me tell you as if you were my best friend,

how to change your accent because yes, it's possible.

It's just something that you have to decide that you want

and then you focus on it and you go and you make it happen.

However, the first thing you have to do is you have to choose an accent, right?

English is spoken differently all over the world, even within a specific country.

You might think there's only American English and British English, but actually within the US, there are several different types of accents.

My accent is a West Coast Californian accent, okay?

There are people from the US, just like me, who sound totally different.

They have a very noticeably different accent.

So you have to start by choosing the accent that you want to mimic, imitate, copy, and learn.

And a lot of times people ask me, Stephanie, what accent should I choose?

And I think it depends.

If you're living in the US, for example, I think it would be great to learn an American accent, not a British accent.

If you're living in the UK, choose a British accent that you can learn, not an American one, because,

you know, you want to speak like the people that you are surrounded by, unless you're just like, no, I love American English.

I don't care if I live in the UK.

Again, it's a personal decision.

You have to choose an accent

because your brain will not be able to pick up patterns if there are no patterns to recognize.

And if you're surrounded by so many different types of English, your brain will not be able to pick up the patterns.

Now, if you live in a non -English speaking country, then you're kind of free to choose whatever kind of English you like,

whatever accent you like, and you can make that be your accent, your way of speaking.

Okay, the next thing we have to talk about is locking in the sounds.

I really consider this to be step one of any accent because yes, rhythm is important.

Intonation is important.

Connected speech is important.

But the sounds are the building blocks of the language

and the accent you have to lock in the sounds

because you're going to use those sounds to do everything else in the language.

So when we talk about sounds, we're talking about consonants and we're talking about vowels.

With the consonants, you have to know your problem areas.

Native speakers of specific languages tend to confuse specific consonants in English.

For you, is that the V and the W?

Is that the B and the V?

Is that the L and the R?

What is going on with your native language and how is that influencing your English.

You can do a quick search online, use AI and just say, hey, my native language is this.

What pronunciation mistakes do people with my native language tend to make in English?

I'm learning an American accent, or I'm learning a British accent, or I'm learning a West Coast Californian accent.

And literally you will get all the answers like, oh, you should really pay close attention to the L

and the R because people that speak your native language tend to confuse them in English, etc. So know your problem areas,

know the consonants in English, learn them, drill them, and lock them in.

Same thing with the vowels.

Now the vowels, these are the sounds that will really give color to an accent, okay, and make it shine and make it stand out.

And let me explain why.

When I was in college, I did a voice, dictions, and dialects class that was so much fun.

And we basically studied accents for an entire semester.

And we practiced shaping and modifying our own accents and voice to sound like someone else.

So I learned how to do a British accent, different kinds of British accents, actually.

I learned how to do different kinds of American accents.

But I also learned how to do foreign accents.

We learned how to do Russian accents, Spanish accents, French accents.

And basically, we just learned all the typical sounds and pronunciation mistakes that speakers of those languages make in English.

And then we were able to imitate that.

And one thing I will never forget is that the vowels had the greatest effect on the accent.

Depending on what kind of vowel sound we used in a word, it would instantly change our accent.

So with the vowels, here's some things you need to know.

We have diphthongs in English.

These are vowels that transition and change when you say them.

And then we have pure vowels.

These are vowels that don't change when you say them.

So for example, eh, ah, ih.

These are pure vowels.

It's just one sound and I'm holding it.

100

Eh, ah, ih.

101

Okay.

102

However, diphthongs, they change.

103

A, O, ow.

104

And you have to make it through the full diphthong for your listeners ears to register the correct sound.

105

And what happens is a lot of English learners, they never make it through the full diphthong when they're speaking.

106

And so that gives them a stronger accent. For example, a lot of my students make

107

this mistake instead of saying pain okay a a a pain

108

see how my jaw is like coming up as I say the vowel sound pain pain pain pain pain okay

109

they use a pure vowel instead and they say pen pen pen pen pen okay

110

and so to a native speakers ears we're gonna hear that and go, ooh, accent.

111

Okay.

112

And it makes it more difficult for people to understand you.

113

So you want to make it through the full diphthong.

114

Now also let's look at the, oh, diphthong.

115

Oh, oh, oh.

116

This is another tricky one for non -native English speakers.

117

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

118

Okay.

119

We start with the uh and we go to the ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,

120

okay I mean when I say we start with the uh

121

and we go to the oo I'm using the pure vowel sounds there

122

but really it's a diphthong so it is shifting as we are saying it

123

so just listen and repeat listen and repeat and mimic

124

and sometimes you have to not ask yourself why or how

125

so much you just have to close your eyes really hear what you're hearing very carefully

126

and then imitate it and training your ears is so important

127

and I think a lot of people just skip this

128

because it's not like fun or exciting

129

and it's just it could I don't know it could feel tedious

130

but I love it I love training my ears I love being able to hear the little nuances

131

and little inflections in the voice and changes and things

132

that other people miss I love observing those things figuring it out

133

and it's kind of like a puzzle to me

134

and to my brain so I enjoy it

135

and you have to learn how to enjoy it if you're going to change your accent.

136

So going back to the O sound, imagine if I turn this into a pure vowel and I say O,

137

O, O, because this is what a lot of English learners do.

138

And instead of saying, I need to go home, they say, I need to go home.

139

I need to go home.

140

Go, go home, go home.

141

I need to go home.

142

But if you would just transition through the diphthong the way that we do in English, it will instantly make your accent sound more accurate.

143

I need to go home.

144

I need to go home.

145

I need to go home.

146

Now, the next thing that I'll say about accents and sounds is

147

that it's really good to learn the key sounds that make an accent noticeable.

148

For example, when I think of a British accent, I'm like, oh yeah, they drop the R sound at the ends of words.

149

That is so typical of a British accent.

150

But in American in English.

151

or in most varieties of American English, we have the R there.

152

So I say car, ear, or pair.

153

In British English, they're going to drop that R.

154

So to summarize this part, you have to learn the sounds of the specific accent that you're trying to master.

155

That is foundational.

156

That is what I consider to be basic.

157

You have to learn the sounds.

158

And the crazy thing is most English learners don't learn the sounds or all the sounds, and they actually can get quite fluent in the language

159

while still messing up on key sounds in the accent

160

that they're trying to master or just key sounds that are necessary for clarity.

161

Even if you're not trying to master a specific accent,

162

some sounds are absolutely necessary for clarity and other sounds are necessary for linking words like the flap, for example.

163

Okay, the next thing we absolutely have to talk about is how reductions, stress and contractions affect language.

164

Every accent has its own stress patterns, its own reductions, its own contractions that are used again and again and again and again.

165

And when you learn these patterns, it makes it so much easier to speak and to sound clear in that accent.

166

So for example, when I say the word for in English, this is a function word and I often reduce it in my speech.

167

I don't usually say it's for me.

168

I say it's for me.

169

It's for me.

170

For, for, for, for rhymes with sir, like hello, sir. For, sir.

171

It's for me.

172

It's for her.

173

It's for him.

174

Okay.

175

So that is an example of a reduction.

176

Another word that we often reduce in English is have

177

and we often just reduce

178

it down to uh uh uh right like I should have told you earlier I shoulda shoulda

179

that is should have

180

but I'm not saying should have I'm saying shoulda

181

I shoulda told you earlier okay another thing how words join

182

together shoulda told you ju ju ju ju did you hear what I did there I didn't say

183

I shoulda told you I could say that I should have told you earlier

184

but often we're going to join sounds together and it's going to change how it comes out.

185

So you might often hear, I should have told you earlier, told you, you, you, you, you, told you.

186

Now, when it comes to contractions, we use contractions so much in English.

187

There are contractions that you're hearing on a daily basis and your brain probably is not even registering that it's a contraction,

188

but you have to become aware of how English is spoken so that you can imitate it properly.

189

And I will give you a classic example because I see this mistake so much with my students.

190

Actually, it is not a mistake, but let's talk about it.

191

So it is, it is.

192

Many of my students say it is like this separately.

193

It is like, oh, it is really funny.

194

It is hot today.

195

But if you listen to me talk, I almost never say it is.

196

I say it's, it's, it's.

197

I join them.

198

I contract those words.

199

It's hot today.

200

It's a really good movie.

201

It's the truth.

202

So little things like that can really change how you sound in English and also how fluent you feel.

203

Because when you start contracting your words, you're going to be able to speak faster.

204

You're going to feel more natural.

205

Your tongue will not trip over words in your mouth.

206

Now with this, be careful because I hear a lot of Spanish speakers say is.

207

They don't say it's

208

and they don't say it is they just say is they say is hot today

209

that's not how we say it in english okay i have a few more tips for you

210

but before i get into that i just want to tell you about one more program

211

that i have that can really help you with your accent especially

212

if you're trying to learn american english

213

and it's free kind of let me explain

214

so back in 2022 i designed this amazing 12 -week program

215

that takes you through my entire accent and pronunciation in english from the sounds to the rhythm, the intonation, the patterns, the contractions,

216

everything, and then finding and creating your own accent in English, whether that means you want to sound exactly like me as much as possible,

217

or take inspiration from my accent to create your own accent.

218

Anyways, I call this my complete accent pronunciation and voice course, because at the end of the program,

219

we also talk about public speaking and how to really make your voice strong

220

and compelling and this is a course that I used to run live

221

but I don't run it live anymore

222

and I didn't want to just throw it away

223

and not use it because it's so good and it has helped so many people around the world.

224

It was just I had too many programs and I needed to consolidate.

225

So what I did is I added this entire program as a bonus to my English life.

226

community

227

so anyone who is a member of my english life program automatically gets access to this entire course completely free

228

it's some of my absolute best work that said

229

if you're working on your pronunciation

230

if you're working on your accent i think you are going to love this program

231

and everything that you learn there so i will also leave the link to

232

that in the description

233

and i just remembered i actually have a testimonial from a student who's going through the course right now.

234

And he recently posted some of his homework for this course.

235

And in the homework, I asked the question, what have you improved since starting this course?

236

And his answer is awareness is a big one.

237

And also people during my sales calls are mostly assuming I'm from the US now.

238

Before they always had to ask which country I was from.

239

Now, if it ever comes up, they ask which state I'm in.

240

And I thought this was so cool, because he started the course like five or six weeks ago, and it's a 12 week program.

241

So he is just having some massive improvements.

242

He's taking the course very seriously.

243

He's going through all the modules, he's doing the homework, and he's feeling the change within himself.

244

And I have seen so many students experience these results from this program.

245

So I just had to share it with you because I know

246

so many of you are out here looking for ways to really improve your pronunciation, to lock in your American an accent.

247

And so I just had to tell you that this course is here.

248

You can use it and you can get these results too.

249

Obviously you have to put in the work, but it's totally possible.

250

Oh, and I really liked the first thing he said where he said awareness is a big one.

251

That is probably the number one piece of feedback I got about this program.

252

Everyone that did it was like, Stephanie, I hear English so much differently now.

253

Actually, quick story.

254

Oh my goodness.

255

I didn't plan on sharing this

256

but one of my students from the very first round

257

she told me she's like stephanie before doing this course i thought something was wrong with my ears

258

so much so that i even went to the doctor

259

and i had them do a hearing test on me

260

because i thought something was wrong with my ears i couldn't hear things in english

261

but after doing the course she became

262

so aware of how english is actually spoken that she was able to hear details that she completely missed before

263

And obviously when you can hear English accurately, you can imitate it accurately too.

264

So I just had to share that.

265

Anyways, we would love for you to join our community. And with

266

that, let me get back to the video at hand to give you more tips on how to change your accent.

267

I really want to wrap up with two things.

268

First, intonation patterns.

269

You have to know that every single accent has its own intonation patterns.

270

This is the melody of the language.

271

This is how it goes up and down as you speak

272

and one of the most common problems for English learners is they take intonation patterns from their native language

273

and they bring them into English.

274

So let me give you an example.

275

I've worked with a lot of Brazilian students

276

so I'm quite familiar with the patterns that they bring into English

277

and for example if I say I know okay I'm like oh yeah I know I know that's my pattern in English.

278

I know I know I know right and Brazilian students they'll often say something like, I know.

279

Okay.

280

I know.

281

Do you, do you hear how it's like completely different?

282

I say, I know, I know.

283

And my Brazilian students will say, I know, or she knows she has to go.

284

Okay.

285

And they have this like little sing song that they do in their English.

286

But the thing is, if you do that constantly in English, it's actually so distracting to your listeners because we're not expecting

287

that and one of the things that makes language easy for people to understand is

288

when you just follow patterns that people are expecting and familiar with

289

because they don't have to filter anything out

290

and they can really focus on your message so

291

when you're practicing english a really really great way to practice is focus on short phrases

292

i know a lot of times when people shadow they're shadowing pages

293

and pages and pages at a time that's quite overwhelming for the brain take little sections

294

and just mimic and imitate little things like what I just said that's quite overwhelming for the brain

295

and you see how I went up higher there with my intonation as well that's quite overwhelming for the brain

296

and that's another thing that we do in English we raise our pitch we go up higher

297

when we're trying to emphasize something

298

but sometimes we can also go lower all right like I just did it we can also go lower

299

so it just depends on what your message is and how you want to communicate,

300

but a lot of the patterns in the language are just on repeat constantly.

301

And when you can lock in those intonation patterns and hear it and imitate it, train your ears, everything gets so much easier.

302

But you just have to be aware of the patterns that you're bringing in from your native language.

303

And I find

304

that the easiest way to train these out of your english is by focusing on small phrases

305

and just making sure you're saying them with an english pattern

306

and not using the intonation patterns from your native language okay i think i covered everything in this video

307

but obviously if you have questions please let me know

308

because i can make more videos on this topic

309

and like i said there's so much more

310

that i could share the last thing i'll say is

311

that it takes time right if you force an accent to change too fast,

312

it will sound and feel performative.

313

And you don't want your accent to sound performative because it just sounds like why are you speaking like that, you know, almost cartoonish.

314

And you don't want it to feel performative because you're not going to like that nobody when they're speaking a language,

315

we don't want to feel like we're performing language.

316

Okay, we want to communicate, we want to have a good time.

317

Accents take time to develop.

318

Now, if you're an actor, and this is like what you do for a living and you practice accents and whatever,

319

maybe you can lock in a new accent in, you know, a month or two, right?

320

But if you're just a regular person, and you've only been speaking one language your entire life,

321

and now you're trying to learn a new language and lock in an accent, that journey can take a while.

322

So be prepared for that, be mentally prepared for that, have the right mindset, be okay with that.

323

And don't give up because I have seen students make amazing progress in a couple months,

324

but I've also seen even better progress in a few years.

325

Okay.

326

So just realize that it's part of the journey.

327

I hope you feel encouraged.

328

Let me know if you have any questions.

329

Like I said, I feel like this could be a seminar.

330

I'm forcing myself to end this video now because I know I want to say more, but I'm not going to allow it.

331

This video will get too long.

332

And you have the challenge that I mentioned at the beginning of this video, the fluent pronunciation challenge that is full of training from me.

333

You're going to love it.

334

And also I get really close to the camera and I show you inside my mouth.

335

So you can see what I'm doing with my tongue and my mouth to get, you know, you have to get the,

336

you have to get your tongue into the right position to make the right sound.

337

So I, you know, I am your humble servant.

338

I show you how it's done.

339

And so I hope you join that challenge because you will learn a lot.

340

Okay.

341

That's it.

342

And I'll see you soon.

343

Bye.

I say it's for me.
I say it's, it's, it's.
Do you, do you hear how it's like completely different?

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 83 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel you're, I'm, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

Die „th“-Laute: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, diphthong /ˈdɪpˌθɔŋ/
Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, reduction /ɹɪˈdʌk.ʃən/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, inspiration /ˌɪn.spɪˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, differently /ˈdɪf.ə.ɹənt.li/, communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, accurately /ˈæk.jə.ɹɪt.li/, inspiration /ˌɪn.spɪˈɹeɪ.ʃən/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

/w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): homework /ˈhoʊmˌwɝk/, anyways /ˈɛn.iˌweɪz/, awareness /əˈwɛɹ.nəs/, overwhelm /ˌoʊ.vɚˈwɛlm/
Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: depend /dɪˈpɛnd/, anyways /ˈɛn.iˌweɪz/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, surround /səˈɹaʊnd/
/æ/ — offener als „ä“: accent /ækˈsɛnt/, transition /tɹænˈzɪʃ.ən/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, accurately /ˈæk.jə.ɹɪt.li/, clarity /ˈklæɹ.ɪ.ti/

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
