Not a true English accent, no.

However, with months of practice and patience, you can learn to pronounce words in a similar way as the English do. Bear in mind that there are actually several different dialects of the English accent. The one most heard in the media is the Central London accent.

Actors spend weeks, sometimes even months, practising a new accent for their roles in films. Sometimes with the help of a speech therapist. The English Actor Gary Oldman had to have speech therapy to recover his natural British accent after after playing so many American film roles in a row.
So it is certainly possible to learn to speak in an English accent. It is not as easy as most people think, trying to naturally speak a different way from the dialect they were brought up to speak.
However do bear in mind that there are pronunciations that some nationals have difficulty saying because of the way they were brought up. For example, Laura is pronounced "lore-rah", but some Americans tend to struggle with that and pronounce it "Lara", because they are told to drop the "u" in words. (The iconic English game figure, Lara Croft, was originally called Laura Croft. But once it became apparent that Americans were having trouble pronouncing her name, it was changed to Lara).

It is possible to learn to speak the English accent, but it will take a few months to master, because you were taught to speak and spell differently. Look for courses in dialects online or in your local area.

Is there a difference between an English accent and a British accent?

There are many "English" accents from England. Scots and Welshmen are not from England, so would have their own accents, which again differ from place to place. That said, just as often people from elsewhere often accidentally say "England" when they mean "Britain" and vice versa, an English and British accent is often used to mean the same thing, a relatively posh accent from South-East England.


Difference between an English accent and a British accent?

All English accents are British accents, but not all British accents are English accents. That's because England is one country in the nation of Great Britain. So if one was to speak in a 'scouse' or 'cockney' accent, this would be both English and British. But if you were from Wales, while your accent is a British one, it is not English.

What do you do if you want to talk in an English accent but your sissy will not let you?

If your sibling is not allowing you to talk in an English accent, it's important to respect their boundaries and wishes. You can still practice your English accent alone or with friends who are willing to participate. Alternatively, you can find online communities or language exchange groups where you can freely practice your English accent without any inhibitions.


Where do people speak with a British accent?

There is actually no such thing as a British accent. There is an English accent, a Scottish accent, an Irish accent, or a Welsh accent.  These are generally spoken within their own countries (English in England, Scottish in Scotland, etc.). However, people all over the world may have a breed of a British accent because either they are immigrants themselves or they picked it up from their family.
