There is no native American language anywhere in the Americas that behaves in the same way as English; native grammars are generally far more complex than in English and in many native languages almost every word is a verb form (even nouns) or a predicate describing a verb form. Many words are composites that express an entire phrase in English. Unlike modern spoken English, where rules of grammar are largely ignored, native languages are extremely strict and firmly structured, so the change of even a single sound can alter the meaning.
Some of the American mountain men of the 1820s to 1840s expressed the opinion that Crow was the easiest language in the region to learn, but that was in comparison to some extremely difficult languages such as Flathead/Kalispel. Crow is certainly not easy for most English speakers.
Any language is made easier if you can converse with a native speaker and sadly many North and South American languages are currently almost extinct, with under 50 fluent native speakers left - others are already extinct, such as Natick, Powhatan and Mandan.
If you are serious about learning a native American language I would suggest you look at Ojibwe or Algonkin (Ojibwe is Chippewa in the USA); there are some useful websites and many good books which will teach you the correct pronunciation of words and the basics of grammar in those languages. It will be a challenge and no easy task, but these languages are still spoken and taught today, so you may have the opportunity to communicate with native speakers.

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.

Shakespeare wrote in English, the same language I am using now. There is no such language as "Shakespearean language" or "Shakespeare language". It's English.

In three or more sentences explain why the word bee is meaningless to a non-English speaker.?
The word "bee" holds no intrinsic meaning to a non-English speaker because it is a specific term used in the English language to refer to a particular insect. Without prior knowledge of the English language or exposure to its vocabulary, a non-English speaker would not understand the concept or referent that "bee" represents. Thus, to them, the word "bee" is arbitrary and lacks significance without the context of the English language.
