How Long Should You Practice To Reduce Your Accent Each Day?

For most learners, 30 to 45 minutes of focused daily practice is enough to make steady progress in accent reduction. Consistency matters more than duration—the brain and speech muscles improve faster through short, regular sessions than through long, infrequent ones.

Start with targeted drills that focus on specific sounds, stress, or rhythm patterns. Practice speaking slowly and clearly while paying attention to how your mouth and tongue move. End each session by using what you learned in a short real-world sentence or phrase.

Listening practice can also count as training. Shadowing native speakers during commutes or breaks reinforces pronunciation patterns without extra time commitment.

Structured coaching helps you use this time effectively. Intonetic’s daily micro-practice system is designed for busy professionals—ensuring every minute of training creates measurable improvement in clarity and fluency.
