Yes. The Accent Quick Check is a 15-minute live diagnosis plus one or two fixes you can use today. That’s what 15 minutes is for. It is not enough to finish changing your accent — that takes ongoing training (listening gains come fast; pronunciation habits take longer).
Training pronunciation habits / teaching your body to do something different is not “easy.” If it were, everyone would improve their accent — and they don’t. It gets easier after you’ve done the right practice more than once (muscle memory / reps). What makes it workable: an experienced coach who knows how to teach it and can see what you shouldn’t do (has seen every example of what not to do). With a professional, you can start doing it right away and move toward muscle memory — then it becomes easier. It’s a combination of changing how you hear, what your brain focuses on, and muscle-memory habits.
Free courses teach foundations; paid adds live diagnosis and feedback.

How long does it take to change your accent?
Listening starts changing right away. In the first couple of weeks (and from the first couple of classes), you’ll learn to hear English differently — more like a native speaker. Josh coaches that listening shift every session.
Changing your pronunciation is habit change. You need effective practice and enough reps the right way to build muscle memory — like the gym. If you follow the system right, lasting (permanent) pronunciation changes typically take around three months.
Yes. This is helpful for immigrant mid/senior tech professionals in meetings, standups, and client calls, and for anyone who wants to hear and speak English more like a native speaker.
