It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents. Unlike children, who are flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak. This is why even the top or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation. There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation

 One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class. Studying pronunciation can help students to understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking, students often need to be exposed to English outside the classroom as well. This is why many students say that studying in an English_ speaking country greatly affects their English. Living with native speakers can help students to pick up new vocabulary as well as improve their accents. This can help to prevent misunderstandings that can occur when people from different country live together.
