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!
What is an easy way to learn English?
THE EASIEST WAY TO LEARN ENGLISH isto choose to have parents whose first language is English, andto live with them in a country where English is the national language, andto mix mainly with English-speaking people.The advantages of this method are (i) it costs nothing (ii) you can learn in your own home and from people you know and who know you, and (iii) you will have ample opportunities to practice your English with native speakers of English.IF YOUR MOTHER-TONGUE IS NOT ENGLISH, and you are unfamiliar with English, it is not going to be easy to learn English, whatever method you use.To some extent, it all depends on what time you have, how good you are at studying, and what opportunities you have to be exposed to the English language and to talk to English-speaking people.Some ways to learn:Live in an English-speaking country and only mix with English-speaking people. This will be hard at first, and it takes time. But within a year you should have acquired a very good working knowledge of English.Get (buy?) a language course, one that is 'interactive' so that you can practice your pronunciation and what you will learn. This takes a lot of dedication and motivation. You MUST do at least 30 minutes of language learning every day.Have English lessons, preferably in an English-speaking country.Get an English tutor. If the tutor can also arrange for you to meet and interact with other students from other countries AND with native-English speakers, this will help you a lot.LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE is not easy. But with good motivation, hard work and plenty of practice, you will be surprised to find that it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE!... In fact, you might even enjoy it!
