    The British accent is definitely easier. Much cleaner and easier to pronounce. At least for a romance speaker...

    Yes of course. Americans speak as they have a hot potato in their mouth. It’s pretty difficult to reproduce those sounds. I can try but it’s never perfect. British accent is very clean, clean sounds, easter to reproduce…more similar sounds to what i use in my native tongue.

    Ok. I'll talk strictly about Romanian...the sounds in British English are far more easier to pronounce that the ones in American English. The sounds are sharps and clear in comparison to the American counterpart.
