Pronuanciation/ Accent Reduction

Hi,
Does any one have a suggestion on how to reduce a heavy accent? It is very frustrated when people can not understand me.

One thing you could try is to listen to a recording of a native speaker saying a piece of text, then record yourself saying the same thing, while doing your best to imitate them. A native speaker friend could probably help you identify which sounds you most need to work on. If you go to you can record yourself reading the test script (you will need to register here first) and we'll give you some feedback.
