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.

It really depends on personal preference and comfort. Both English dialects and General American accent are widely understood in the United States. It might be helpful to learn about the local dialect of the specific region where you will be living for better integration and communication. Ultimately, it's most important to focus on clear and effective communication rather than a specific accent.

Is there a short a sound in the word what?
The answer is yes and no - this depends on the accent of the speaker. In general, an English speaker would pronounce "what" as /wɒt/, hence without any "a" sound (ɒ is short "o" sound). An American speaker would pronounce it either as /wɑː t/ or /wʌt/, hence only the last variant has the short "a" sound (ʌ). This is a dictionary pronunciation and may vary from speaker to speaker.

How do you pronounce the word 'flowers' in English?
"FLOW-uhrz" is a way of pronouncing the English word "flowers."Specifically, there are different pronunciations because of the different accents within the English language. For example, an English speaker in Virginia may pronounce the word differently than a speaker of African, Australian, British, Canadian, Caribbean, or New Zealander English. But whatever the accent, the above-mentioned pronunciation -- and those of other countries -- should be mutually understandable.
