Listen to BBC as much as possible. And look out for the intonation of words! You know, the word 'intonation' can be 'divided' into two parts when you pronounce it, and it is marked with an ' (apostrophe) in the phonetic spelling. \n\nI cannot type phonetically here, but the word 'intonation' (for example) can be divided like this: \ninto'nation\n\nI think it's a very good idea to learn British English! I used to speak American English but my pronounciation was terrible and I wouldn't speak British English because I hated it at that time. I thought that American English hided my Hungarian accent but it didn't but accentuated it the more. So I switched to British English and it suits me very well and I think think that my pronounciation has improved a lot.\n\nOtherwise, I have noticed that certain nationalities are likely to speak American English better than BrE. For example the Portuguese and the Chinese excel with AmE but they are not that good with BrE. But Hungarians, Indians and Czechs get on with BrE much better than with AmE...\n\nAnd get an audio online dictionary!
