To concentrate on one accent will be better. Choose an Indian accent, it’s the best.

Dear sir,
As far as I am concerned, there are many people who learn English all over the world, and speak many accents such as: Indian, Canadian, Australian, and even Korean or Japanese. Therefore, I would like to ask you for some advice. Should I practice every accent, or concentrate on only one accent? Thanks.

I think focusing on one accent is better.
Accents vary considerably and if you’re already having difficulties, you should pick one and go with that.

I really think it depends, if you think you can try for more than one accent, then go for it. I personally speak in 8 different accents with varying success, but that doesn’t mean you should try for all of them. Try as many as you think can fit for you.

Based on my experience, most people can have 2 accents – their own native one and the new one they wish to adopt. One new accent is challenging enough. Which would you choose?  The one you can get the most out of.  Regardless of which accent you adopt, having clarity in your enunciation and having the appropriate word stress is worth considering.
Good luck 🙂
