How Long Does It Take to Correct Common Pronunciation Errors?

Most common English pronunciation errors can be corrected within 8 to 12 weeks of focused practice and feedback. Simple issues like unclear r, l, or th sounds often improve quickly once learners understand correct mouth placement and rhythm.

The first two weeks are spent identifying mistakes and retraining muscle memory. By the fourth week, most learners can pronounce difficult sounds accurately in short words or phrases. Around the eighth week, these corrections begin to sound natural in real conversations.

Consistent recording, listening, and feedback are what make changes permanent. Without awareness, old speech habits can return easily.

Intonetic’s accent coaching helps learners eliminate pronunciation errors step by step—making speech clearer, smoother, and easier to understand in both personal and professional settings.
