Actress, from China It is exactly what I needed — a daily nudge to actually speak English, not just study it. Julien M.

Read the guide for yours — the exact sounds, the rhythm differences, and the drills that fix them. Questions about accent training What the assessment measures, how long it takes, and what actually changes. What is an accent assessment and what does it measure? It is a short recording of your speech scored against native pronunciation targets. SoundNativ measures four things: which individual sounds you substitute, where your word stress lands, how your sentence rhythm compares to a native pattern, and how clearly your endings — the -s and -ed that carry grammar — are released. It takes about two minutes and needs no sign-up. Can adults really change their accent? Yes. The idea that pronunciation is locked after childhood applies to effortless, unconscious acquisition, not to deliberate training. Accent work is a motor skill, and adults learn motor skills well when practice is specific and frequent. Most learners hear a measurable change in individual sounds within a few weeks and in rhythm within a few months. How is this different from a general English app? General language apps optimise for vocabulary and grammar, and treat speaking as a way to practise those. SoundNativ only works on how you sound: sound-by-sound scoring of what you actually said, lessons filmed with native speakers and dialect coaches, and a plan built around the interference patterns of your first language. Does my native language change the lessons I get? Substantially. A Spanish speaker needs work on /b/ versus /v/ and initial s-clusters; a Korean speaker needs /l/ versus /r/ and cluster vowels; a Mandarin speaker needs released final consonants above everything else. SoundNativ builds your plan from the patterns known to transfer from your language — you can read the full breakdown in the accent training guides. How much practice does it take to see results? Ten focused minutes a day beats an hour once a week, because pronunciation is built by repetition rather than study time. 86% of SoundNativ users report a noticeable improvement after 12 weeks at roughly that pace. Is the accent assessment free? Yes. The 2-minute assessment and your results are free and require no account.
