Why is my accent so bad?

Learners can be seriously hampered by a negative outlook, so I'll address this very important point early.

First, your accent is not bad.

It is non-standard to the American ear.

There's a joke that goes, what do you call a person who can speak three languages?

Trilingual.

What do you call a person who can speak only two languages?

Bilingual.

What do you call a person who can only speak one language?

American.

Every language is equally valid or good, so every accent is good.

The average American, however, truly does have a hard time understanding a non-standard accent.

George Bernard Shaw said that the English and Americans are two people divided by the same language.

Some students learn to over-pronounce English because they naturally want to say the word as it is written written.

Too often, an English teacher may allow this, perhaps thinking that colloquial English is unsophisticated, unrefined, or even incorrect.

Not so at all.

Just as you don't say the T in listen, the double T in better is pronounced D, better.

Any other pronunciation will sound foreign, strange, wrong, or different to a native speaker.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
