Hi, if you want to improve your accent you need to start using our online voice recorder as I'm doing right now.

Hi Maria,

There is nothing to be sorry about. If you are serious about improving your spoken English you will find the means to get a headset which costs about 7 USD, less than a breakfast at McDonald's.

Hello, everybody!

I tell you that I'm a spanish speaker. I'm trying to improve my speaking skill in English. I look for all information that can help me. Some days back, I read about that English is not a syllabic language as Spanish. I was very impressed because all the time I was speaking the English language as my language. Reading the information examples I found that some words are pronounced in stressed way and others are weak ones. I understood that some words are more important than others and some of them I don't need to pronounce, is correct? My question is: How can a spanish learner produces a good phrase if doesn't know which words must stress?

I think it is very difficult. :!:

Hi Toņis,
I think u need to watch native ENGLISH TV shows , maybe the good ones.. I suggest many people who are from non speaking countries to watch a TV show called as FRIENDS. To answer your question i would like to say that u need to listen as many conversations in english as u can from the native speakers so that u will come to know what are the important words and thus u will be able to express your ideas much better..
As far as I am concerned I believe that practice makes everything a lot easier. So, try and hope for the best..
regards
