Accent Reduction: Week-by-Week Progress Guide for Beginners

Accent reduction happens step by step. Most beginners see steady improvement when they follow a structured plan that builds awareness, control, and confidence over several weeks.

Weeks 1–3: Learners identify problem sounds and learn correct mouth and tongue placement. Listening and slow repetition build awareness of how English rhythm and stress differ from their native language.

Weeks 3–6: Practice shifts toward fluency—linking words naturally and training the ear to recognize subtle pronunciation differences. This is where clarity starts to improve.

Weeks 6–9: Muscle memory develops. Speech begins to sound smoother, and confidence grows in everyday communication.

Weeks 9 and beyond: Intonation and pacing refine. Learners sound more natural, confident, and expressive without forcing an “American” accent.

Structured coaching makes each stage faster and more consistent. Intonetic helps professionals track progress, stay motivated, and achieve noticeable results within just a few months.
