I am seeing that in many institutes they are working on vocab, or grammer maybe. but I think it's not right, cuz the most important thing that we need is a good speaking skill, so the first way that we could have a good speaking and accent, is we should change our teching methods.

My own experience about learning Eng with correct accent :
1.watch movies & series
2.Repeat the dialogs
3.listen to audio-books
4.Speak Eng whenever u feel like it
5. have self-confidence and don't feel uncomfortable when you pronounce the words like a native
6.And after all,when u learned how to speak like a native,try to improve ur accent by correcting the other learners or sometimes ur teachers! ​

If you watch a few episodes of MasterChef Australlia, you will fully understand the reason of all the mimic. They way they speak is odd! With all those weird vowels they use​

So we're in the middle of summer and are having plenty of free time and I decided to search about accent and see if there are any good methods to learn American or British accent. I got great results and methods, for both British & American accent.

It's pretty easy to find an audio book and PDF (or better than that, ePub) of a certain book. I suggest The Hunger games because it's all over the web now. You can choose a British or American reader.

Then you have to listen to the reader while it reads the book and follow it on your PDF version. After that you have to try and read aloud from the book; try to imitate the reader. Doing this exercise over and over helps a lot!​

speaking from experience if u wanna have a good accent u should watch a movie u really like and undrestand the situations and the way they express their feelings like when they`re angry what`s their intonation while using body language...then u have to imagine the situation in ur mind and try to say the exact sentence in the exact way as the actor...after a while ur accent wil improve...the key here is paying attention carefully...​

So,Talking about British accent, they have the RP or queen's accent. It's kind of like the upper class accent, it's not much used but it's taught in high-class, expensive schools such as Eton. Have you ever seen Queen Elizabeth II giving a speech? it's the RP British . RP Also, its BBC newsreaders' accent.​

I think that the easiest way to speak in the best way is just focusing on lyrics. especially Rap Genre.
Because Rappers Speak About people,and their ideas.
anyway , you HAVE to watch MOVIES or TV SERIES ! ​

Euronews? Which accent do they use?‌ :-s

I used to listen to BBC World Service; It was so-so but I didn't like the accent very much, I'm not even sure if their newsreaders have standard accent! so, I searched and came up with BBC Newsbeat; A news program on air two times every day from BBC‌ Radio 1. Of course, it's not accessible from Iran

You can find newsbeat here
