You have probably said that the English language is not your father's language at some point in time in the past. That was probably due to the complexity of the language and how difficult learning it can be.
Most people pay more attention to accent than grammatical structure. So, you hear many Nigerians trying to speak with the American accent. Unfortunately, the poor grammatical structures, coupled with the street-based American English we hear in Black American movies, have turned a lot of Nigerians into killers of the English language.
You must understand that while a good English accent is important, a good grammatical structure is also important. So, as you desire to develop a good English accent, study to build your knowledge on grammatical structures in order to have a balanced English language experience.
A lot of people can read and write in the English language, but have problem with fluency in speaking. Most times, the cause of this is "Mother tongue interference." Fluency requires speaking the language with an almost total absence of the interference of the mother tongue.
The interference of the mother tongue makes it difficult to pronounce some English words. Such interference can be killed with the right help and determination.
To start, you must first understand that written English is quite different from spoken English. Having this understanding puts you on the right track as you begin your learning. In written English, you only make use of the letters of the alphabet. However, spoken English is based on sounds- the sounds produced by the letters. While there 26 letters, there are over 50 sounds in English. And learning these sounds is key to fluency.
Since English is the most widely spoken language in the world, it means that every non-native speaker of the language must learn and be fluent in speaking the language. And you can do this from the comfort of your smart phone. Technology has made this possible. And people are taking advantage of this advancement to learn new skills everyday.
