Typical Accent Improvement Timeline for Busy Professionals

For busy professionals, accent improvement follows a steady timeline that fits into demanding schedules. Noticeable progress often starts within 8 to 12 weeks, with major clarity improvements seen by 24 weeks of consistent, guided practice.

Weeks 1–6: Learners become aware of problem sounds and learn proper mouth and tongue placement. Short, focused sessions help build accuracy even with limited time.

Weeks 6–12: Pronunciation and rhythm begin to feel more natural. Confidence increases in daily communication, especially in meetings and presentations.

Weeks 12–24: Clarity, flow, and intonation become consistent. Learners speak with greater ease and sound more professional across all contexts.

Because professionals have limited time, efficiency matters more than volume. For example, Intonetic’s guided coaching system is built around short, high-impact lessons that fit any schedule—helping busy learners reach clarity faster without burnout.
