How to Sound like a Native English Speaker - 5 Tips from Dr. Stephen Krashen

Today's topic addresses a question I often get asked by my students who are concerned about their foreign accent when speaking English. This is not actually something I think is necessary or important, but if it's something you really want to do, yes - it is possible! In this video I explain Dr. Stephen Krashen's five factors necessary for native speaker-like accent. I mention his probably most famous Input Hypothesis in this video, but actually, the video is about his Affective Filter Hypothesis (Krashen has 5 hypotheses for language acquisition in total).

You may not have noticed, but instead of "rhythm" I wrote the French word "rythme" Oops! I also get "dance" and "danse" mixed up at times. :)

This turned out to be a rather long video, so it you want to listen in chunks (recommended if the video is difficult for you), here are the time stamps:
2:57 Tip #1
7:22 Tip #2
9:50 Tip #3
13:30 Tip #4
