If you: - are content with a trial-and-error approach
- have friends/colleagues who can give you useful feedback
- don't mind making the odd [amusing] mistake
then I recommend going self-taught using a combination of "immersion therapy" (talk to friends/colleagues in as neutral an accent as you can without sounding contrived) and watching a LOT of British TV. This way is slower, but I found this quite fun, and it has the potential for better life stories.If on the other hand, you: - want something more structured and results-oriented
- don't have enough self-aware friends/colleagues across different British social classes
- are not in a position to have mistakes brushed off without consequences
then I'd suggest looking up accent coaching. (Although I couldn't possibly recommend any particular ones.)I briefly knew a Greek girl who'd moved to London for a project management role in a large company here, and she sounded reasonably British middle class (RP) having done daily professional accent coaching for I think 8-10 months. Sorry I can't be more concrete, but I hope this helps! |
