Do You Force Native English Accent When Speaking?

If you are new here please read this first.

You’re speaking English with someone. You try to pronounce the words like they stand in the Oxford dictionary. You suddenly mispronounce one word, then another. Then you get confused and can’t speak fluently at all!

Does this scenario sound familiar?

It was happening to me all the time before I hadn’t realized a simple thing…

This may sound really strange, but if you don’t force correct English accent when speaking English, you will feel that you can speak much better and more fluently! 😯

Don’t get me wrong – correct English pronunciation is important to speak the language and, of course, make others understand you.

What I meant here is – don’t try make yourself sound like a native English speaker by all means – most likely it will hamper your speech even to a greater extent. Instead of focusing on the correct pronunciation and native English accent just speak and if you allow your native accent to surface a little bit – there’s nothing wrong with that!

Remember – the key factors for improving spoken English and English fluency are to maintain a successful mindset and not try to use artificial vocabulary – just go for simple words you’ve learnt a long time ago! Personally I find that speaking with a slight native accent of mine I can maintain the fastest and most fluent English speech. Isn’t it odd? Well, I think it is!

And here are a couple of tips on how to forget about sounding like a grammar book and focusing on live English speech instead!

💡 Next time you speak English try to use your own language’s pronunciation when speaking English. Just let it go and don’t try to force the super-correct English accent. It may sound really funny – like Italian mobsters from mafia movies – but you’ll discover that this way your fluency increases!

💡 Nothing else counts now but your confidence, don’t bother yourself with thinking what your speech sounds like. The most important thing is that now you can speak fluently and your mind is being exercised in a similar way you exercise your muscles in the gym.

💡 When you’ve spoken in this manner for a while, just stop and forget about English fluency and anything related to English. Do something you like for a while. When you speak with native English speakers next time you’ll discover that oddly your fluency has improved a bit!
