Consultation vs. Self-study

When deciding whether to seek out professional help to improve your English accent, the question always arises - Is it worth paying for?

Here are a few things to consider and some alternatives that you should consider first. Learning how to speak with a Canadian English accent is hard work and there should be an understanding of the amount of effort and practice that is required.

Think of a musical instrument. Some people can teach themselves how to play a guitar by watching youtube videos, self-experimentation and consistent practice. The same can be done with your Canadian English accent. The problem is that people underestimate how much effort is required to learn a Canadian English accent because they understand English well enough.
