Would an American or a British English accent be better for a non-English speaker to learn?
It really doesn't matter. Native English speakers (American and English) will be far more impressed if you have a good vocabulary and good use of grammar than if you have perfected a particular accent. As a native English speaker, I tend to assume that people who speak English as a foreign language adopt the accent of their teacher, or of the area that they learnt English in.

What can you do to unlearn speaking English the American way and do it the British way?
'Unlearning' is not really possible! Once you know something, it stays there! But old and unwanted speaking habits will gradually fade if you work hard to add exclusively British-English to your language repertoire!TOTAL IMMERSION IN BRITISH-ENGLISH will really help you to do this!If you...# immerse yourself in British-English, and# only speak to native British-English people, and# only listen to / watch British-English programmes, and# only read British-English literature,and# try to copy/mimic the British-English way of speaking ...then you are very likely to acquire the British-English grammar, vocabulary and accent.If you are a language student (of English), make sure that you are using British-English textbooks with British-English language cassettes, and learn with a native British-English teacher.WATCH English films. You could also get yourself some tapes of English people speaking. Listen very carefully. Imitate what you hear. Copying and mimicking is very important in developing good speaking habits. Get a British-English person to be your language mentor! It'll be fun!LIVE IN ENGLANDEven better would be to live in England! Could you stay with a native British-English family for a few months? If you stayed in Britain for a year and mixed with British-English people, and get involved in the British way of life and culture, then your frequent exposure to, and use of British-English will, in due course, make speaking British-English quite normal and natural for you.But where in Britain should you stay? There are strong regional accents throughout the UK. Even if you chose to live in an area that speaks with the particular accent you prefer or want to acquire, you still have to be able to distinquish between good and bad speech on the part of the people you mix with! Be selective in the words and expressions you choose to add to your vocabulary!Even when you have gained a good British-English way of speaking, you will still be able to recover your previous ability to speak the American way! So, when you mix again with American people, your way of speaking will very likely move back slightly towards the American way within a week or so!Even experienced speakers sometimes retain tiny elements of language styles that they have previously been exposed to. This is not a problem. It adds individuality to your way of speaking.So, how to learn British-English? Learn by listening, and by doing!
How do you say good bye in Sweden?

Is it not high time we started talking about the Anglo-American English mix of English as the only realistic standard English for the English speaking communities in the World?
I am wondering if there is anything like a pure British English since a good number of British children are inclined towards the American English. The so-called British-American differences that authorities talk about appears to be rather primitive or prinordial and more of an academic exercise than a reflection of the reality. The question and the first paragraph of this answer both suggest that variations in the way the English language is spoken and used are wrong. The writer implies that there should be a "correct" way to speak the language and also questions the existence of British English. Pure British English is alive and well and spoken by millions of pure British people. It is the simple fact that millions of people are British that results in them speaking pure British English. By definition, they speak British English. But let us not forget that even within England there are hundreds of accents and dialects. So distinctive are they that it is possible to locate a speaker to not just a city but even a part of a city just by an accent and dialect. Make no mistake, the people that make up Britain are almost all born and bred in Britain. They each carry their language with pride and none will accept that they should be speaking any other English than their own. Let us not forget also that English is a dynamic language and it has changed in the last decades and over the last centuries. Compare the language of Shakespeare and the language of Dickens to the British English spoken today. There are differences that make the language of four hundred years back almost a different language to that of modern English. The differences in usage are far greater than the differences between British and American English today. They are greater than the difference between British English and the dialects of English speaking Africa, Canada, Australia, Indian regions and more. The language changes with the people that use it. The language reflects the culture that it supports and it identifies the people that speak it. Ask a Brit about the way an American uses the English language and it will be described as "cumbersome", "grammatically incorrect", "mis-pronounced" and more. Ask an American to describe British dialects and their response will include "archaic", "quaint", "clipped". Tell either of them to use a pre-defined accent, dialect and vocabulary, and the response will be a refusal. Listen to an African man speaking English and one hears the rich accents of African languages overlaying every word spoken. The same applies to English speakers of every country. Their words give away their heritage and that surely is a good thing. The British are proud and possessive of their heritage as are every other nation. That is a good thing, not a bad thing. Who should have any authority to dictate a standard form of a language and to remove part of a heritage from a nation. Let me discuss a personal note. I am British; 100% British and intensely proud of it. My daughter was born and bred in the Mid-West of the US. She is now a young adult and she speaks with a Mid-West accent. The accent fits her perfectly. It identifies her environmental heritage if not her ancestral heritage. She speaks perfectly. Her accent is very different to mine and that's a good thing. She doesn't try to be British and no one expects her to be British. Let's face it - American and British behaviors are very different and my daughter's behavior would appear strange if it weren't for the accent that tells the world who she is. She might not talk in the same way that I do but I would never have it any other way. I am intensely proud of my American daughter with her hidden British heritage. It is interesting and exciting to hear the world's "standard" language being spoken in so many ways. To hear a voice identify it's owner as Australian, Canadian, Asian or any other part of the world is part of the woven fabric of a world society. Let us celebrate the differences and let us embrace the ever changing nature of the language.
I'm not good at speaking English and vocabulary Tell me how to improve?
Practice by speaking and listening to someone (a workmate, English speaking friend, etc), reading, writing, and even more practice. It is important to understand that there is American English, and British English. The spelling and pronunciation (the way a word is pronounced) is often different and can be confusing to anyone learning English as a second language.
