Why people want to have american accent? Isn't more important to be understandable than to have an specific accent?
Are you goint to communicate better in american accent than in british accent?

[Boke]

I would half agree with migmam in that it really doesn't matter what kind of accent you have, especially if you are a beginner or intermediate student, and no matter how hard you study you won't really attain a specific accent unless you go to that particular country and live there for some time, but saying all that it is unfortunate but true that American accents are probably the most easiest recognized because of movies,tv,music , so in that context I think that yes, a neutral midwestern American accent is easier to understand for other speakers

With time, you'll learn the American accent. Don't worry.

Every region is different, and what you may hear in one part of America, you won't hear in another. The dialect really does change, but America is a large country.

As for pronunciation-- it can be really easy or difficult.It depends.

The only language you can truly speak is the one that you know when you are born.

You can't teach yourself how to speak with an American accent like you could teach yourself how to speak englsh. Accents are inherited, not taught.

Record a sentence spoken with the accent you wish to emulate. Then record your own voice speaking that sentence. Listen and compare, correcting yourself along the way. Continue until you are satisfied with the results.

I guess an accent comes with time once being around persons who speak in such tone, after time you may pick it up.

If you are reading alone, read out loud. When you are speaking with others, don't worry about your accent. Let your words flow naturally. We all have our own natural vocal tone. Be proud of yours.

The American speech is very relaxed when talking, so just let your mouth flow.

Well, maybe when you practice you could talk to a person who speaks with an American accent. This might help you to obtain a smoother one yourself. Good luck!

Hi, I'm omario, from Liberia west Africa.I think having American or having England acsent does not matter for someone who is leaving outside from this Countries.What's matter is, you have to know how to pronouce and understand.
