Hello,  my name  i s_________. I'm taki ng A meric an  Acc ent Traini ng. There's a lot to learn,  but I hope to make it as enjoy able as possible. I should pick  up on the American intonation pattern pretty ea sily, although the  only  way to  get it is to prac tice all of the time. I use the  up and down, or  peaks and valleys, intonation more than I used  to. I've been pa ying attention to pitch,  too . It's like  walking down a  stair case. I've been talk ing to a lot of A mericans lately, and they tell me that I'm  ea sier to understand.  Any way, I could go  on and on, but the import ant  thing is to lis ten well and sound  good.  Well, what do you  think?  Do I?
