What Is Accent? Accent is a combination of three main components: intonation (speech music), liaisons (word connections), and pronunciation (the spoken sounds of vowels, consonants, and combinations). As you go along, you'll notice that you're being asked to look at accent in a different way. You'll also realize that the grammar you studied before and this accent you're studying now are completely different. Part of the difference is that grammar and vocabulary are systematic and structured— the letter of the language. Accent, on the other hand, is free form, intuitive, and creative— more the spirit. | Crp. 1 U3 185 American Training BARRON S A guide to speaking and pronouncing American English for everyone who speaks English as a second language Take the purr-sound approach to speaking LLstm to the rhythms of u M kcn Uuitfungr Imitate tin fluid nay of American speech Americans will understand you better and you ll andrrMJUid Ihrnt belter loo l took pronunciation cliwws for two yean at Princeton and in my opinion Imrrirrio Ircrw Trtiininfj is far superior Dr. 7- Kabala.
