ppl who learned english in a non “english native” country: what kind of english accent were u taught
if you learned in an english native country you’re welcome to pick 4 if you really want to see results but that’s like the vast majority of you sooo if you’re ok with just ignoring or bookmarking so the percentages aren’t too fucked up that’d also be gr8
This is the first time I’m seeing about accents being taught on a school level. What places do this?
In Russia, the British English is usually taught – presumably a leftover of Soviet times, when it wasn’t ideologically right to refer to the US. That being said, the qualification of most English teachers is so low, they teach some kind of "Soviet English,"
and students accumulate American accent and culture through YouTube and HBO series.
I was taught the British one, but after a while the way I learned the language was mostly interacting with english-language media, and then it flipped back to American because, well, all the movies and tv shows and video games.
All the English teachers I had back in Hungary were leaning heavily towards British English in terms of spelling and vocabulary, but their accent was mostly Hungarian.
My first trip to the UK in my early 20s was a rude awakening. 
I might be wrong, but I think as far as spelling goes I could do whatever I wanted as long as it was consistent. Where pronunciation is concerned... I don't think people who still sit in a classroom for a language are usually good enough for such subtle differences to matter.
Picked American — even though teacher spoke w a British accent, both were acceptable and everything good on tv was American, which meant most kids had US accents. Writing was all in British English though!
School was strict on British English, both spelling and pronunciation
