Hello,

I am sorry in English. But, does anyone know how to correct my English accent? I am getting old, and it seems like getting worse day by day. Not to mention " R " and " L," I have problems pronouncing like "V " and " B. " It looks really bad when I have heavy accent in front of my boss, and can't communicate very well.

I have tried books and bought video showing the use of mouth. But, none of them worked good. Does anyone know speech therapist or something to correct accent? Thank you very much.

Do you mean that you want to correct your Japanese accent in English?

Hi dreamer-san

I understand what you're saying. It's tough to acquire good pronunciation when you get old.

I am not sure what kind of problem you have exactly. Are you having a problem with L or R when they appear in a sentence? Do you even have a problem with pronouncing L or R alone?

From my experience, many non-native speakers who have difficulty in commnunicating with native speakers of English do not have English-like "intonation".

I am not sure how much I can help but I know the basics of phonetics. Can you describe the detail of your problem?
