Muhammed AbdalazizHostSo after you identify what accent you are after, then you have to move to your why, okay, before you move to your how.
you might say what you're talking about well the reason i'm telling you this because if you don't know the purpose behind you learning the accent whatever thing that we do in life we have to make sure that we have a clear purpose a clear roadmap that will literally guide us in order to be able to speak uh to learn the accent and of course to be able to master it right so the The reason I told you how to identify your why, because that will be your motivation.
That will be your secret weapon in order to help you to move forward faster.
Even if the progress feels too slow, you have that reasoning why you want to learn the accent first before you even get started.
That's why you want to learn the accent or perhaps you want to speak with more confidence or perhaps you want to be able to just impress other people with your accent and be able to speak with more confidence like I mentioned earlier or perhaps you just want to understand native English speakers when they have a conversation and that is absolutely reasonable because there are dozens and billions of accents in the entire world okay so what you need to do make sure that you're identifying reasoning and why you want to learn the accent first before you move to how well now after we identify our why now we have to move to our how okay so you know there are dozens of accents and as I mentioned earlier you need to identify first before you even start it because people usually mean the received pronunciation they want to learn the accent and sometimes they call it BBC English or Queen's English but we don't want to sound more posh we don't want to sound to change our identity and to be able because the reason you are trying to not be British you want to sound more British okay if that makes sense you don't want to change your entire identity because I've seen quite a lot of people they tend to say What was the reason behind learning the accent? Because as long as people can understand you, what's the reason of learning the accent? Because accent will not just help you to understand people more better and to speak with more confidence.
It will also help you to open more doors in the future, more opportunities in life.
