I want to get rid of my accent

[-Soph-]

Urgh, I'm trying so hard.

I've managed to change it somewhat, I sound like a bad mixture of British and American at the moment.
Ever since I started paying attention to how people speak my accent's changed, I can't wait to get rid of it... I hate the attention it brings on to me.

Anyway.. any tips for losing it?

which you trying to lose? The American bit or the English bit?

Just don't watch anything American/English accented for about a month. When I came back from Germany people kept telling me I had a strong German accent when I spoke. I had no idea at all. Two weeks later I was back to normal. I'm sure an American accent is harder to lose.

well where are you from, america?
Tbh i dont think theres a way to really change your accent.
Its my opinion, but if you really want to change im sure there are videos etc?
Im english and i can speak quite fluent soundin spanish and thats from listening to CDs at night (spanish learning)

Trying to lose the British, it's kinda gone I guess.

And I barely do Blinger.

i think it would be quite hard to lose an accent... it'd take a few years to completely lose it

you shouldn't try to lose the british accent, you should be proud to be british

you shouldn't try to lose the british accent, you should be proud to be british

But think about how the americans would make fun of it
