10 tips to improve the way you speak English
Many deserving candidates lose out on job opportunities because of their vernacular accent.
Can I 'neutralise' my accent?
Yes, you can. All you need to do is train yourself to speak English as comfortably and perfectly as you speak your mother tongue.
How do you train yourself? By inculcating certain practices in your daily lifestyle. These will get you closer to sounding like a native English speaker and equip you with a global accent -- and you will speak not American or British English, but correct English.
This is the first step to learn any other accent, be it American or British or Australian.
Lisa Mojsin, head trainer, director and founder of the Accurate English Training Company in Los Angeles, offers these tips to help 'neutralise' your accent or rather do away with the local twang, as you speak.
i. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.
When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.
ii. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.
If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you.
Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be understood.

We all bought tickets. We were around 10 - Myself, Sahil, Punil, Chitvan, Vikas, Anshul, Deevanshu... Exams went slowly taking every drop of us. Finally after the last exam, we met at the bus stand at around 4pm to depart from Patiala as planned. We took a bus to Chandigarh. After getting the bus, everyone was eager to reach to the destination at the earliest. Meanwhile we gossiped, read SMSes, talked and laughed together in the cool breeze coming in from windows.
