Timeline for Reducing Accent Anxiety and Speaking Confidently

Reducing accent anxiety and building confidence in English usually takes 12 to 24 weeks of consistent practice and guided feedback. Confidence grows naturally as pronunciation improves and communication becomes easier.

Weeks 1–6: Learners become more aware of how their accent affects clarity. Small pronunciation corrections start boosting confidence in short conversations.

Weeks 6–12: Clarity and rhythm improve. Learners feel more comfortable speaking in meetings or social settings without overthinking pronunciation.

Weeks 12–24: Confidence replaces self-consciousness. Speech feels natural, smooth, and effortless. Anxiety fades as listeners understand easily.

Guided coaching accelerates both skill and confidence growth. Intonetic’s guided coaching helps professionals replace accent-related stress with control and pride—building clear, confident English that feels authentic in every situation.
