Canadian Accents

Canadian Accent

The Central & Western Canadian accent can be very similar to a neutral American accent - when it's light, but heavier Canadian accents are very distinct from most American accents. You'll hear recordings from all over Canada, from Toronto all the way west to Vancouver Island - with the sound of bald eagles in the background!

Canadian (Central & West) Accent Learning Materials

  • The Canadian accent materials include recordings of Accent Help coach Jim Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, along with an additional female voice for the practice sentences. Jim also leads you through the accent in a practice monologue.
  • You'll get instant access to the audio and written materials, including transcripts of all of the native speaker conversations that you can follow along with, and a downloadable PDF "cheat sheet" for the accent.
  • This set of materials focuses on the Canadian accent west of Quebec. You can find French-Canadian recordings in the French materials, and we'll also offer Eastern Canadian accents in future materials, as they can be quite different from those of Central and Western Canada.
  • This Accent Help download focuses on Canadian English speakers and will walk you through a stronger version of the accent, though you'll also find out what lighter Canadian accents sound like. 
  • You'll receive immediate access to the materials so that you can go through them on your computer, tablet, or phone.
  • You'll also get future updates for free!

Most of these Native Speaker recordings are made "in the field" so you will hear such things as birds, cars or other people in the background. A transcription of the conversations is included to help you follow along. In addition to a conversation, most speakers also read a list of words and The Rainbow Passage.
