Default Re: Learning an english accent - where to start?

Do it gradually and don't try to rush to the end result. Firstly, get as much exposure to it and get to hear the sounds in your head, then start moving closer and closer to them. I learned RP as a child, then much later went to live in London and slowly started absorbing the sounds around me.
