This is the first time I’m seeing about accents being taught on a school level. What places do this?

yeah i suppose the question comes down to what accent did your teachers have bc that’s what you sorta pick up on top of native language accent

Also think it has to be an active process. My school was the snobbiest in the city (I think others have overtaken us now, thankfully) and we were hard into American music, movies, TV etc. but no one I remember got an accent
