You should consume english media first of all
Look at videos that practice speech
And most importantly look at videos that train specifically your type of accent since each accent has different tendencies and things they need to fix

sorry

 

[h4untara]

Yes

its gonna be difficult i wont lie to u. depending on the area in the uk, u might be called slurs and freshie + ppl might make fun of ur accent.
ignore them tho, dont let it get to u.

as draftLexy said, expose urself to english media. specifically british. watch stuff on BBC iplayer. especially stuff like eastenders so ure exposed to different and very strong british accents. practice saying things with an accent until it becomes natural and ingrained. theres lots of tutorials on yt. also practice with other people too.

I mean i dont really need a heavy british accent
Just need it to be brit enough for the people around me to understand
Also dont wanna be bullied

i know a guy who was in a similar situation he changed it in about a year but he told me that he had to think about everything he said to make it sound more british until the habit stuck so u will need to speak very deliberately

Dude oh no

I feel bad for you because hasn't Europe been increasingly anti immigrant and "saveEurope" in these past few years

We just moved here i don’t know how openly racist people are yet but yeah it’s definitely been more anti immigration online

I think people might be less openly racist in london tho since it’s filled with immigrants

Maybe if you made fun of Indian people in a performative way and be a pickme then you won't be singled out as much

My mom moved to the states when she was 15, and still has a light accent lol

It most likely won’t ever go away, but it eventually won’t be as bad

Forgot to add, it’s gonna be even harder for u in londonistan jfl, make sure u don’t hang out in ethnic enclaves

Is it cuz she hangs out with people with similar accents or is it gonna be like that regardless of who you hang out with

 

[rand anon]

Regardless I’d say, she dropped out and left home at 17, so she had to grow up fast and has pretty much interacted with all types of people lol

U can try to learn the accent or whatever, but it’s just gonna feel like something ur imitating. Just let it develop naturally
