Several dozen Indians in their twenties are taking intensive English classes
in New Delhi so that they can be able to assist foreign tourists in that
city's beautiful, new subway system.
One instructor says that those students are being taught to
speak English with a British accent, which -- he says -- is "the correct
way to speak English."
How would you advise a learner who asked:
Should I try to speak (and spell) like an American or like a
British person?
Thank you
