Do you prefer to speak with the British or American accent?

Question

if you don't live in the English speaking-country

Answer 1

I prefer to speak it with no accent

Answer 2

By the way, there is no such thing as a British accent. Britain is a political construct made up of three different countries; England, Scotland and Wales (the UK includes Northern Ireland). To speak with a British accent you would have to have some kind of combination of all three accents - which would be definitely strange.

When most foreigners think of a 'British' accent they are actually thinking of what we call an RP English accent (Received Pronunciation - like an old fashioned BBC newsreader, or slightly less posh than Hugh Grant).
