If i am not living in England and i don't have any English friends, how can i learn the British accent?

Answer 1

A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

Answer 2

I'm not trying to be deep or anything, but i don't think a accent is a way people talk as much as it is the way they learned the word....
so i think learning the british accent would take a while

Answer 3

rent British movies...beware though, there are a lot of regional accents too. You will sound fake if you try and mix them all up. So make sure you try and focus in one of them. My Fair Lady is a good start since that is about an English girl who works to change her accent from cockney to upper class.

Answer 4

You can purchase a cassete recording and cassette tape with recording of language path spoken by means of local English audio system. They are availabel in big bookshops. Then concentrate and check out to mimic it daily, and after a couple of months or probably years, you'll be in a position to mimic the local audio system very carefully. The moment first-rate factor is purchase a radio and concentrate to the inside track of the BBC daily and as mostly as you'll be able to, or watch TV systems in English from TV Channels in England.

Answer 5

depends on your age, the younger you are, the faster you can pick up an accent. try taking a trip to england, stay there for a couple weeks, and practice the accent a lot. or, you could rent brit movies. dont know how much that'll help, though.

Answer 6

I watch my favourite movie, Pirates of the Caribbean twenty four seven. I watch BBC America all of the time, and I practice speaking the accent quite often. After you know what the accent sounds like practice this:

Words with double T's or double D's -snicker- you don't pronouce. For example:

Little (Pronounced): Liii-olle (Say the 'i' as if you were saying "if".)
Middle (Pronounced): Miii-olle (Do the same as above)

Pronounce, "What" as, "Whot".

Another way is to line your bottom teeth with your upper row of teeth as you talk. Change your accent slightly to how you think you think it should sound.

If you ever watch Keira Knightley as she speaks, you notice that her lower row is in line with her upper row.

There's much more to speaking with a Bri'ish accent, mate. Just need a li'ole practice, that's all.

G'luck!

Answer 7

Watching movies from UK could do a lot, especially if you keep practising what you hear. The best way is to immerse yourself viz. go live there and maybe work there and you have to choice but to learn to speak like them eventually. Takes at least a year or more tho.
