How long should it take to improve your American accent?
I’ve been teaching English for 20 years and I can tell you it’s actually shocking how quickly you can start changing your English-speaking voice in a way that people really notice. Take Rafik whose native language is Arabic. He was already working with a private tutor a native speaker of English but what actually made the difference in his voice, in his English speaking was training in Rachel’s English Academy. Rafik said “After just one week, my tutor a native speaker I meet with once a week noticed a big difference. She literally told me “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.” That moment really showed me how effective the Academy is.
That was a turning point for him. He saw when you have the right tools, improvement doesn’t have to take forever. He’s not the only one.
Alejandro a Spanish speaker said “I’m very happy with this course because with only 3 weeks I can feel that I’m improving in my speaking and listening skills.”
And a third student. Native language French said after 3 weeks he could feel his brain changing my English is improving on words that reduce. I’m also creating a new habit. My brain is changing. I’m really happy that I’m improving. I love that.
Real students, real progress and fast. These are students in Rachel’s English Academy and right now Rachel’s English Academy is on sale, 60 to 70% off for just a few more days you can get an incredible deal and try the training out for yourself. Will you see a difference in 3 weeks? Yes.
I’ve made it kind of impossible not to. And if you’re not convinced that the method works for you, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee, just let us know and we’ll cancel and refund you. But I don’t think you’re going to want to do that because when students see what works, they get hooked.
After 3 weeks in the Academy Hermenia native language Spanish said “I’ve been noticing improvements, I noticed change. I do… I’m excited about it. I do really like it. I’m into this Academy. It’s been a game-changer.
Over 40,000 students have gone through this program and I’ve just now finished my newest course, Essentials. The most effective program I’ve ever created for mastering the American accent. And I’m not just saying that, I mean it. After 20 years of teaching, I know what works, this course works. It’s Science-backed designed with clarity and all you have to do is show up and put in the time. How much time? With essentials, I ask students to dedicate around 25 minutes a day for about 5 weeks. That’s it that’s enough to master nine micro skills of the American accent covering all topics like vowels, consonants, rhythm, stress, melody, linking and placement. In essentials, I break the American accent down into microskills. Remember, this is accent training. It’s about speaking English, it’s not for beginners and it’s not about learning grammar or vocabulary. Of course, you’ll learn and be exposed to new vocabulary but what you’re working on here is speaking fluency and understandability through accent reduction. This is for intermediate to advanced students. You might already have an amazing command of English. You may have lived in the US for years but you want to polish your American English voice. Look, the most important thing for you to know right now is you can do this. If you’ve been working on your English for 20 years and you’re still not happy with your accent, it’s not about you. It’s about the way you’ve been taught, the method you’ve been given. This is where the concept of microskills comes in. I’ve been able to break the American accent down into the smallest topics for mastery. The work you do is so focused it’s truly unavoidable to improve. You do what’s called deliberate practice on the microskill. With thorough, comprehensive easy-to-use lessons and you master it. You let your body do the learning through the training. There’s no mental stress or straining. The exercise are there for you and you do them. With microskills, you don’t work generally with phrases. You start smaller than that. With the rhythmic building blocks of the language. Your mind and body can’t perfect a bunch of topics at once. That is useless practice and a waste of time. Any sentence has multiple sounds and multiple rhythms happening all at once. Are you ever actually focused on one microskill? When you’re working with 10 things at once, that’s ineffective. You’ll not improve that way. No matter what your level of ease of speaking English is today, focused work on microskills will change everything for you. I’m so excited for you to try Essentials and have the same kind of breakthroughs that Rafik had, that Alejandro had. Let me show you a little bit of what you’ll get in Essentials. The core course of Essentials is made up of modules, each with several parts. You’ll finish one part every day in each module, we’ll go over the method you’ll need to master the topic at hand. Essentials is built on the concept of micro skills and helping you master them. We’ve broken the whole big concept of American English down into microskills so you can do very focused practice and make real progress throughout the modules. You’ll learn the science of why we’re working the way we are. We build in so much exposure and repetition that there’s no way not to improve. You’ll study clips from our live classes to understand exactly the changes you need to make to your own voice to sound confident speaking English.
I want it flat to be even higher. So watch this. Very flat.
Very flat.
Exactly.
And I can’t stress it enough Essentials is built on the Play it, Say it method. Every day we have you talking. I don’t want you to waste even one day learning about something. This course is not about simply learning something. It’s about getting it into your body with the training there’s so much repetition and exposure that you can’t help but master these microskills with the deliberate practice we’ve given you. The training audio comes in multiple forms including soundboards so you can guide your own practice.

And downloadable audio with pauses built in so you can do the training on the go. In your car when you’re going for a walk and so on. There’s variety in the kinds of audio exercises you’ll be working with but they all work towards the same goal. Speaking effortlessly without having to think about pronunciation. Understanding and building the habit of the American accent. We have visualization exercises and we also teach you how to record yourself and listen to yourself to become your own best coach. The students who have gone through Essentials absolutely love it because they feel the difference in their own fluency and the people around them notice it too.
Now, let me be clear here you are not going to sound native after five or 6 weeks. If anyone tells you that, don’t believe them. But you will get mastery of some of the microskills of the American accent. And more importantly, you’ll see how the process works. You’ll feel the difference in your own speaking. This might be enough for you, goal met. Or you might think “I get this I love this and I want to improve more.” Good news. It’s not just essentials that’s on sale now, it’s the whole Academy. Our courses cover every topic in American English pronunciation from placement to all the sounds rhythm, linking stress. In a video, you’ll learn about a concept. But this Academy is not about learning with your mind, it’s about learning with your body. So even though we have over 500 videos the change happens with the thousands of audio files. We’ll give you the method to use to do this work. You repeat with the Play it, Say it method and as you play the files over and over, your ear starts to tell your body what changes to make without your brain doing anything or getting in the way. It’s body learning.
So all of our courses have these Soundboards. You learn a concept, you drill it into your body. We have conversation courses where you can look at an analysis video and understand what you’re hearing. Then you go to the soundboard and you train that way of speaking into your body.
Everyone who buys full academy access should start with Essentials. It’s the on-ramp to supercharge your learning and to make sure you understand how this method works.
From the Essentials course, you can go on to any other course in the academy. And for students who get the community add-on, the training materials are only half of it. You’ll also get access to our teachers. In our online community you can post a video and get teacher feedback.
So maybe you’re working on a sound or working on a conversation. Our teachers going to listen to you and let you know specifically what tweaks to make to sound more natural and take the effort out of speaking.
Students with community access can also attend conversation meetups online or our drop-in hours every week. You can join the online classroom, there are teachers there, type your question in chat or you can turn on your camera and have a conversation with the teacher. We have all the lessons that you need to understand every concept of American English pronunciation and to train a natural sound into your body. With the support of the community and the teachers along with this material, you are unstoppable.
The academy first launched in 2016. Since then over 40,000 students have signed up and changed their lives. Here are some of them.
Hi I’m Chihiro and I’m a student of Rachel’s English Academy. I would recommend other people to join this Academy because they have so many useful resources including helpful teachers. You can build a habit of practicing English pronunciation almost every day with other community members. That is very encouraging. So, that’s it from me and I hope to see you soon in the Academy.
Because it’s not only about being uh understood. It’s about understanding, because we need to understand native speakers in order to speak in order to interact with them. So um, knowing that reductions exist or that uh, the words uh, interact in a sentence. Knowing um the way they uh, words link together for example or the way the voice tends to go down in pitch. I think it’s very useful. It’s online so you can study you can work with the materials, you can take the courses at any time. And if you enjoy Ben Franklin exercises as much as I do, I’m pretty I’m sure you’re going to love it because there are lots of analysis of the speech of native speakers and um, there are lots of fun videos too and repetition which is very important. And it’s very affordable too.
This sale ends in just a few days. I want you to get in there and see the difference it can make for you and your confidence in speaking English.
