What Makes an American Accent?
The American accent has distinct features that set it apart. Our AI analyses all the key sounds and patterns that define American speech.
The Rhotic R
Americans pronounce the "R" sound in all positions — at the end of words like "car" and "water." This is one of the biggest differences from British English. Our test checks if you're curling your tongue back enough.
The TRAP Vowel
Words like "can't," "dance," and "ask" use the /æ/ sound in American English. Many non-native speakers pronounce this too close to "ah" or "eh." We'll tell you if your mouth is open wide enough.
The Flapped T
Americans turn the T into a soft D sound between vowels. "Water" sounds like "wader" and "better" sounds like "bedder." Our AI detects if you're flapping correctly.
American Intonation
American English has a distinct rhythm — stressed syllables are longer and louder, while unstressed syllables get reduced. We analyze your speech patterns to see if you match the American flow.
