    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.

      I posted a thread asking for feedback on the rule, but the only response I got was in support.

      Can you explain why you don’t think it’s relevant in this case? I feel it could be interesting to know if, for instance, people tend to imitate the English-speaking country that’s closest to them or that they have the closest trade relations with.

      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.
