How can improve my accent I've got a colonial English accent?

Question

well i'm from a british colony as far as my spoken english is concerned it's ok but my accent is not really good.

Answer 1

Why change it? If you really feel that it's a necessity to do so, you can see a speech therapist or some community colleges offer classes in phonetics or speech pathology that you could take.

Answer 2

I can assure you it is alright to get a colonial English accent, you might not agree with me. During my academic stay in Australia, I thought it's great to hear various accents, in other words, everyone has his/her own way of pronunciation. It's simple beauty of language. However, you can try conversing more with some close friends whose accent you've admired and request their help from them. I think they won't mind, you simply imitate and correct some key colonial accents to blend with the more pure, perfect English ones. Good luck.

Answer 3

Yep. Why would you want to change it?
I would imagine the only way of changing your accent is to be with and speak with people who have a different accent to yourself. But I think you will need to make a concerted effort to physically change it.
