American Accent Training by Ann Cook
It's actually easy to pick up the American accent. The heavy lifting is in acquiring the vocabulary and grammar, and the accent is just shaping the sounds and rhythm patterns. The good news is that there is a solution that will jump start your transformation. Amazingly, it's only $99.99.
This incredible online program teaches all the elements of English, including grammar, accent, comprehension, reading, writing, pronunciation, comprehension and even details such as suffixes and prefixes. It's so good that IBM uses it!
The program starts with the most basic grammar and pronunciation and goes through to the most advanced levels in English. There are comprehensive placement tests for grammar and accent, as well as chapter tests, a mid-term and final exam. Each chapter has six sections: Story, Dictation, Nouns, Verbs, Essay and Test. You have the option of submitting chapter essays online for feedback and editing. The story and dictations progress from easy to hard.
This is a unique way to learn grammar and accent at the same time. The Verb Map lets you see how all the verb tenses work. You have an immediate visual understanding of what you already know and what remains to be learned. This is a great way to work on vocabulary, as the program uses 2,500 words, with the 500 high-frequency words translated into 7 different languages (Spanish, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Vietnamese, Russian). With the English dictionary and the translations, even a true beginner can work through the book without outside help. Intermediate to advanced students will also benefit, as they can fill in any information gaps and master pronunciation at the same time. This is an excellent resource for both ESL students and American students taking English classes.
