Dorset Accent

0 Hi, I want to know, the most efficient way I can learn the Dorset Accent. I have a very good friend that is from there. Can you maybe give me some pointers. He has a quite posh dorset accent, and I do wish to speak with a type of British accent, rather than a South African one, because i dont like the SA one at all.Please help. 0-

0 I should be very surprised if there are schools that teach the Dorset accent, even in Dorset. The only way to acquire it is to go and live in Dorset. 0-

You can't just live in Dorset to learn a dorset accent you have to live in the most rural parts like on or near a farm as the accent is very much like a stereotypical farmers accent
