People whose original language isn't English, which dialect did you try to imitate while learning? (lemm.ee)

I didn't try to imitate any particular dialect/accent.

It is hard enough to learn a second language. I simply imitate whoever I interact with, or passively acquire the accent while watching/listening to media.

Edit: such weird rule to require saying which country I'm answering for. It isn't always relevant. To avoid this answer being removed, I will say it anyway: Hong Kong.

It's a weird rule, but of course this is the internet. Nobody said you had to tell the truth. Take it from me, living in Chagos.
