Accent training, 5 minutes a day.
Find the sounds that matter for you, then drill them with instant feedback. Choose a sound below and say the sentence.
I think these three things are worth it.
Accent training (or accent reduction) means practising the few sounds that make your accent hard to follow. AccentLoop finds those sounds with a 30-second accent test, then gives you short drills with per-word feedback. Five minutes a day is enough to hear a difference in a few weeks. It is about clarity, not removing who you are.
A simple accent training routine
- Take the 30-second accent test and note the first feature it lists.
- Pick the matching drill below and say the sentence three times.
- Look at the red words, press Listen, and copy the model slowly.
- Do the daily sentence to keep your streak going.
- Retest your accent after two weeks and compare.

Frequently asked questions
Can you lose your accent completely?
Most adults keep some accent, and that’s fine. Training aims at clarity — being easy to understand — not at sounding like someone else.
How long until I hear a difference?
With 5–10 minutes a day on one or two sounds, many people notice clearer speech in 2–4 weeks.
Is accent training free?
The test, drills and daily sentence are free (10 checks a day). Pro is $9.99/month for heavier practice.
