Hello! The way that I've approached this with other languages is to break it down to the individual sounds you struggle with. For example, if it's the 'o' sound, to practise that on its own. Then you can start practising it in longer words! Remember to be patient with yourself and know that accents are the hardest part of learning a language. Hope this helps:)

It will help to find an English Series to watch on tv. Watch this on a regular basis and watch the movements of the lips, mouth and face and try to immitate them when you are speaking yourself. This will help you significantly.

You could find a teacher that teaches you phonetics and phonetic symbols. Work on letters we don't pronounce in English and words that we normally link together when speaking. Stressed and non-stressed words are important as they give rythm to the sentence and end up being the key words as well. Hope this helps together with the other answers from other users.

Hi! A good way to a have better English accent is by learning sound which we call phonemes and by knowing how words sound when they come together. you can join classes for Phonetic & Phonology for this purpose.
P.S: you'll really enjoy those classes and you can contact me for learning the sounds to achieve professional accent.

Having to learn phonics should help you learn the sounds and their behaviour. Listening to people speak with your desired accent, interacting with people, reading books and by practicing monologues in front of the mirror helps too - that’s me speaking from mu personal experience. It did not take long before both my English and British accent improved drastically.
