I know General American and I want to learn Scottish accent (especially Edinburgh accent). Because I really love this city and want to move there in the future 💙

[@LeanEnglishPronunciation]

Edinburgh is a lovely city!

I LOVE American accent.

I've chosen General American to speak English like an average American due to the massive influence of the United States all over the world, but I also want to focus on learning to understand other accents, I want to better understand most Brits than ever before. Americans don't speak the same type of English obviously, what I want to do is striving for clarity when communicating with different people in the English-speaking world.

I've chosen General American because General British is so complicated to master.

In comparison with lots of accents, I feel like Estuary is the best. Can you make a video for that 😊?

[@LeanEnglishPronunciation]

Thanks for your comment! I made a video about the estuary accent here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5LNk4WhlrKphacsi=x2K7-SSU6j_5hwU5

I've been mostly exposed to North American accents rather than British or from somewhere else, but the one that I consider as a model for learners from everywhere (although it's now seen as quite outdated) it's the Transatlantic accent, I consider that one very neutral and classy!

[@LeanEnglishPronunciation]

Thanks for your comment! The transatlantic accent sounds great but isn't really used today.

Ed, I’m passionate about SSBE. And your accent is most gracious. Nice one. Cheers

I was taught RP, but wanna take some features of northerners such as foot-strut non-splitting, trap-bath non-splitting, th-stopping, [hw]-sound in words which start with "wh" and using [ɒ]-sound in words "one, once, nothing, tongue, among, other, love" (the last feature is from Yorkshire, if i'm not mistaken). Will it be difficult to understand such speech?

[@LeanEnglishPronunciation]

I think it will be difficult to understand you because you are mixing features of several different accents. TH-stopping and the voiceless /w/ sound are more commonly associated with Irish and Scottish accents.
