I agree with Yugong.

Multitasking is not working in accent reduction. Pronunciation and intonation is a twin but we have to prioritize them. My coach told me that correcting the single sound first and forget about intonation, training the English speaking muscle to pronounce each vowel and consonant correctly and slowly. When you get used to the sounds or memorize the right way to pronounce then working on intonation, word stress, and etc.

When you correct your pronunciation, do not forget using mirror. At the first three months, do not trust your ears but eyes.

It took me 3 months to learn the right way to master the correct pronunciation, another 4 months to practise.

It is not easy but we all on your side.

Take care.
