I actually worked on a startup to help with this. (We never got off the ground, unfortunately).
There are 2 main factors to focus on: Pronunciation, and tone.
Pronunciation is fairly straightforward; you can look up or listen to how words are pronounced to get a better understanding.
Tone is the tricky one. You need to learn how to correctly raise and lower your voice for individual syllables. Most native speakers have this hardwired in their minds, so you need to practice (a lot) to get the hang of it.
As an exercise, listen to some YouTube videos or podcasts with transcriptions. With one colored pen, highlight the syllables where the speaker raises their voice, and with another pen, highlight the syllables where they lower their voice. Then, practice speaking the sentence with the same tone.
It's a lot of hard work, but it's a skill that can indeed be learned.
