How do I change Alexa’s language and accent?

Alexa is a voice-activated personal assistant that can do almost everything. However, its capabilities are not limited to just one thing – it can speak in multiple languages and accents too!

To change the language or accent that Alexa uses while speaking, you simply have to access your Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet device.

The language settings of Alexa can be changed for different reasons. For example, if you want to give access to your friend who doesn’t understand English (the default language), you can change the settings of Alexa’s voice commands in order to teach her another language.

Or, if you are learning a new language yourself, then you can change the settings of Alexa’s voice commands in order to practice your new language.

For U.S. customers, you can talk to Alexa in English or Spanish. However, other languages are supported partially as there will be some hiccups while using them with Alexa.

The list of supported languages includes German, Canadian English, UK English, French, Italian Portuguese, and Chinese but they are not fully compatible with Alexa.
