Speaking English with a good accent is very important, if you do so people will think that you've been in American for many years. Today I'm going to show you a small exercise you can practice in 2 minutes but changes your accent totally!
In fact to improve you spoken English you should focus on two main things: Accent and pronunciation.
The pronunciation is more about how do you say each word or each letter, but the accent is about how to speak the whole phase the way Americans do.
A big mistake I have always noticed is that non native English speakers (even English teachers) don't make the liaisons when speaking, and this is the most important part if you want to speak English fluently!
Today's exercise is to choose a sentence (a real sentence in conversation) you try to repeat it many times without worrying about each word, for example if your sentence is "Sam is twenty years old", you will say "Samz twentyearzold"
Try to repeat it as fast as you can and always stress the most important word (the new information in the sentence) when you get familiar with this (it takes about 2 minutes to achieve) try to use it whenever you speak English.
As I said, you may think this tip is not helpful, but it will make you a different person in just 2 minutes !
