A Few Words

What Is An Accent?

Accents make up part of our personal identity. They show our unique background. Some people have regional accents, like a Southern drawl or a Boston accent. Nonnative English speakers use the stress, rhythm patterns, word choice and grammar patterns of their first language. For example: Some speakers may feel like the pitch and rhythm of their English is flatter than a native speaker. Each multi-syllable word in English has 1 syllable that is stressed. Using word stress makes words easy for your listeners to recognize and makes the “rhythm” English. They also use tongue and lip movements of that language. For example: Many speakers sometimes use /s/ or /z/ instead of “th”? For example, they might say “sink” instead of “think.” A Pronunciation Problem that has a high impact on clarity: if you leave sounds off the ends of words, this makes many of your words unclear. It also makes you sound like you have poor grammar because you leave off plural /s/ and past tense endings too, for example, “two shoe” and “trade” vs. “traded”. This also makes things confusing for your listener because you are leaving out important information.

Does Your Accent Cause You Trouble?

While an accent can be a source of pride, it can also be a source of frustration if others have trouble understanding you during communication. Sometimes it can affect job performance, self-esteem or even your social life.
