The Best Way to Accent Reduction – Use Word Stress
In spoken English every word has one syllable that receives strong emphasis. We say that these syllables have major stress. Syllables with major stress are pronounced louder and with a higher pitch than the other syllables in a word. The vowel sounds in stressed syllables are long and clear. Using this type of word stress correctly is one of the best ways to reduce your accent and improve your spoken American English!
