I do not want to change my accent. I only want to improve certain movements you do (american people) with the lips to pronounce some words. Remember when you talk either Spanish or English languages do not use the same muscles of the mouth to pronounce words... I only want people are able to understand my talking.. Thanks for your help.

Do you know the phonemic alphabet? You really needa n Englis teaching person to help you learn the exact sounds, but then, if you have a good dictionary with a phonemic translation, this can tell you how the word is pronounced.
If you can't get a class, listen to as much English as possible, on the radio, TV etc, and accustom yourself to the sounds which English speaking people use.
If you have equipment, record a sentence and repeat it several times, then say it yourself. Pay attention not only to the pronunciation of individual sounds, but also the speed, rhythm and intonation (the up and down 'music').

Check your local colleges and see if they have a class that offers Advanced English courses. Also, another thing that can help - use the dictionary and sound out the words.
