Most times, we face challenges when we try to copy or sound like others. The best thing to do is to sound yourself, be natural, as long as you pronounce the word correctly, you’ll be understood by your audience and you’re good to go.

Hi Walter, you can consider the following; 1. Listen Actively- Immersion is key. Listen to American media to get used to the nuances of the accent. 2. Pay attention to the pronunciation of specific sounds, such as the "r" sound (which is usually pronounced more strongly). 3. Imitate Native Speakers- Find videos or audio clips of native speakers and try to mimic them exactly. 4. Understand the Rhythm and Intonation-American English has a specific rhythm, with a stress-timed pattern. 5. Practice the Flap T Sound- the "t" sound between vowels often sounds more like a soft "d" (as in "water" or "butter"). 6. Work on Vowel Lengths- American English often elongates vowels more than other accents. 7. Get Feedback- Record yourself and compare it to native speakers. 8. Stay Consistent- Like any skill, improving your accent takes time and consistent practice. Hope this helps.

This is an awesome question! Learning new languages offers several lesser-known benefits beyond the typical cognitive and career advantages. As psychology and counseling graduate, I wanted to highlight specifically these three: 1. Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills: Multilingual individuals often develop better analytical and problem-solving abilities, as switching between languages can improve their capacity to approach issues from different angles. 2. Improved Memory: Learning multiple languages can boost memory retention and recall, as the brain becomes accustomed to remembering complex structures, vocabulary, and grammar. and 3. Increased Cultural Empathy: Language learning fosters an appreciation for different cultures, leading to greater empathy and understanding of diverse perspectives, enhancing social interactions and relationships.

First off, remember that building confidence is a journey, and every small step counts! Embrace the idea that making mistakes is not only okay but a vital part of the learning process. Start by surrounding yourself with supportive and encouraging resources, whether it’s joining a friendly language class or engaging with a conversation partner who shares your enthusiasm. Celebrate every little victory—whether it’s mastering a new phrase or successfully ordering food in your target language. Consistency is key, so set aside a bit of time each day to practice, and be patient with yourself! Finally, remind yourself that everyone learns at their own pace, and the joy of connecting with others through language is worth every effort. You’ve got this, and soon enough, you’ll be astonished at how far you’ve come!

I use Cambridge Materials for language acquisition. If you're preparing yourself for IELTS, I also recommend using Cambridge materials plus that of the British Council. In my case,I use both a lot.

.Don’t worry about making mistakes. It’s part of the learning process. Remind yourself that it takes time to learn a language. If you learn a word or a structure today, that’s a win. Celebrate small wins. Aim for improvement not perfection. -I always tell my students these things.
