Choose the right course for your goal
Starting with the right course makes everything easier.
Accentify includes a range of accent courses, from deeper full courses to shorter mini courses. The best place to begin depends on what accent you want to build and how focused you want your first steps to be.
Start with your goal
Before choosing a course, ask yourself one simple question:
What accent am I trying to sound more like?
For example, you may want to work on:
Received Pronunciation (RP)
General American
Scottish Standard English
Irish Standard
Australian
Southern USA
Scouse
Cockney
Or another course we have released since writing this (we plan on hosting over 100+ accents from around the world).
The best first course is usually the one that matches your real target accent, not just the one that looks easiest.
Understand the different course types
In Accentify, you may see a mix of full courses, mini courses, popular courses, and courses you are already enrolled in.
Full courses
Full courses are the best option if you want a more complete learning path.
They usually take you through an accent feature step by step, with more depth, more levels, and more opportunities to practise and improve over time.
Mini courses
Mini courses are great if you want a quicker starting point or want to focus on a smaller area first.
They can be a good way to get moving without committing to a larger course straight away.
Popular courses
Popular courses can be a helpful place to browse, especially if you’re still deciding what to work on.
They show some of the accents other users are exploring most often.
Use the course details page before you decide
When you tap into a course, you’ll see a course details screen.
This helps you understand what the course covers before you begin.
You may see things like:
the course title
a short description
your progress
lesson or level information
a preview of what the course focuses on
This is the best place to check whether a course feels right for your goal.
Choose based on the accent you actually want
The best starting course is usually the most relevant one, not the most advanced-looking one.
Choose RP if...
you want a more standard British pronunciation model, often linked with clear non-rhotic speech and traditional British speech training.
Choose General American if...
you want a neutral American target that works well for a broad range of learners.
Choose a regional/international accent if...
you’re specifically aiming for a sound like Cockney, Scouse, Scottish Standard English, Southern USA, or another regional variety.
Choose a mini course if...
you want to ease in, try the app out, or focus on one smaller area before committing to a full path.
You do not need to overcomplicate your first choice. A good first course is simply one that matches the direction you want your speech to move in.
Don’t worry about getting it perfect on day one
Your first course is just your starting point.
You’re not locking yourself into one perfect decision forever. What matters most is beginning with a course that feels relevant and then actually completing lessons inside it.
Progress comes from consistent practice, not from spending too long trying to pick the "perfect" first option.
💡A simple rule:
Choose the accent you you think you'll enjoy, then complete your first few levels before switching around.
A good first choice is one you’ll actually enjoy
The best first course is the one you’ll want to come back to.
A strong first choice usually:
matches the accent you want
feels fun or motivating to practise
gives you a clear place to begin
helps you build momentum quickly
If a course makes you curious and excited to keep going, that’s a good sign. Consistency matters more than overthinking your first pick.
