What is Accent Reduction?
Accent reduction is the practice of suppressing your natural accent and adapting to the accent of the area’s natives. For example, if you are having trouble communicating with English due to restrictions from your accent, experts can help you work through these speech obstacles to help you communicate more efficiently and clearly. It is a practice of assimilation and breaking barriers.
