Accents are one of the most misunderstood aspects of language learning. 🌍🎙️
In this conversation with Ruben Adery, widely known as “The Accent Guy,” we dive deep into how accents work, why they form, and whether it’s really possible to change them.

We discuss pronunciation, identity, accent reduction, and the psychology behind why people care so much about sounding native. Is having an accent a problem? Can anyone develop a native-like accent? And what does science actually say about accent training and phonetics?

Ruben shares insights on:

How accents develop in second language acquisition

Why pronunciation is different from grammar and vocabulary

The difference between accent reduction and accent modification

Whether adults can truly sound like native speakers, and what does "native" really mean.

The role of phonetics, phonology, and listening training

How to improve your English pronunciation effectively

Why accent bias exists in global English communication

Whether you’re learning English as a second language (ESL), working on pronunciation, or curious about accent identity and language perception, this episode explores the real truth about accents in language learning.

If you’ve ever wondered how to improve your accent, sound clearer, or understand why accents are so persistent, this conversation will change how you think about pronunciation forever.
