To tell you the truth, I've never heard any foreigner (unless they learned English when they were very young, or had lived in an English speaking country for at least a decade, and had extensive, and personalized accent coaching) ever be able to pull off either an American or British accent....

There are a number of variations within the British accent. Here are some suggestions on how to improve your accent: 1. If you have any close British friends or acquaintences, speak with them as often as possible while imitating their accent. Sometimes people are offended by this because...
