If you want to improve your accent through self-study, you will need to listen to a lot of speakers as a source of pronunciation. What listening do you do know?

Hello!

My wife and I volunteer in our local schools, teaching English to student with ESL needs, and Spanish to students wishing to learn Spanish.

Anyway, my wife is from Mexico, and she highly recommends a program called: English Without an Accent.

I know you can get it on amazon.com

Here's the link from the book:

English Without An Accent

GOOD LUCK!
