Thanks for your all input. I will approach Sonia advice. But still I am not getting a right path to develop myself.

Regards

You have a point. I myself is really trying hard to practice british accent just to develop it who knows it could be an edge to get higher band score in the ielts. You know once I applied as a customer service agent in a call center company in the Philippines and was embarrassed of the comment of the interviewer when she told me that my english has no regional influence. At that particular application, I suppose to handle a UK inbound account meaning receiving voice call over the internet. It was frustrating, really! So now I keep practicing it and listening conversation and on radio with british djs' or anchor.

According to studies you can only learn a language like a native speaker when you learn it before the age of twelve. You can master a language but you can never speak it like a native speaker if you learn it after the age of twelve.
