Listen to a lot of people speaking in that accent. Perhaps while u r sleeping. Try to notice what letters they roll or slur. There’s also other replacements for words they might use and phrases so try to pick up on those. A southern and British accent may be good to try and pick up on because they are pretty common accents. Pick one u like and enjoy that way u have an easier way of practicing it. Hope this helped, good luck! :)

The American accent

The most popular English accent of them all. Spread around the world by American cinema, music, television and more than 350 million North Americans (including Canadians, eh), this is the easiest accent for most people to understand, whether native speakers or non-native speakers.
