Accents
How hard is, to get many english accents?
British, american, australian, new zelander, south african etc.
There are a lot of them.
Recently I've started to watch a considerable number of TV channels, from a lot of english countries, to impove my listening to accents. But, after two months this is still hard.
Beyond writing this notebook to check my writing skill, I would like to ask you: Are there any others means to improve this skill?
Thanks :)

Well, you could get an accent coach. Accent coaching falls under the domain of acting, and accent coaches generally train actors for screenplay.
Some professional English teachers might be able to point out the differences between different accents, primarily between American and British English. However, they probably won't be able to assist you with accurate, reliable output unless they've also trained as an accent coach.

Sorry, Teacher Somila and človek.
What I mean, is exactly what Michael explained.
Thanks a lot for your help.
And again, sorry I wrote wrongly.

It can be quite hard to understand many unfamiliar English accents, even for a native speaker, and even when those are native-speaker accents but different ones from those we know. I don't know any method other than listening to a lot of spoken English. Once you have a really good understanding of one accent, you may find that you can pick up other English accents much more quickly. I found that watching at least 15 minutes of news in my target language every day really helped me to hear a little better, to the point of sometimes being able to identify non-native speakers - but so far it has been nowhere near enough for me to be able to separate and identify different regional accents.

What do you mean by "to get many English accents"? Are you wanting to speak them or is it about understanding?
