Abstract
There are plenty of reasons why you should master an American accent. For starters, it will reduce communication barriers and improve your self-confidence, while also preventing mistakes caused by confusion or having to repeat yourself. It’s important to keep in mind that the term “American accent” is a gross oversimplification as there are multiple accents even within a single region of America!With so many advantages of having an American accent, it’s worth the effort to develop one.
However, you’ll need to work hard to make it happen. But before you can feel confident in your English speaking abilities and begin WOW-ing people who find out that English is actually your second language, you’ll need a strategy in place to help you master the American English accent
