Abstract: A system for decoding foreign accents includes a visual display monitor, an audio display device, and a processor. The processor is electrically connected to, and configured for communication with, the visual display monitor and the audio display device. The processor is further configured to exert a measure of control over the visual display monitor and the audio display device to display aural and visual content. The processor is still further configured to train a user of the system to understand the nature of a mispronunciation of a native language word by a foreign language speaker, and to comprehend a response thereto. The processor is yet still further configured to validate the user's understanding and comprehension by allowing the user to determine whether his response to a mispronunciation was accurately performed following an aural display of the mispronunciation through the audio display device.
