There is no such thing mate - there are so many kinds of British accents that you will have to be more regional specific.

If 'natural British accent' means sounding like Hugh Grant - these people aren't to be found in Korea - they are found helping daddy squander his trust funds! Cool

Wow! I wish I had a 'natural Brittish Accent', there is nothing that would be more fun on a SATURDAY than helping you teach a class. I can imagine the class.

PUCKHEAD: Hello, this...uh..is my friend.....uh......Andrewuh.

Class: Hi, hello.

PUCKHEAD: Now...uh...talk. Please talk.

ANDREW: What do you want me to say?

PUCKHEAD: You talk in natural British accent!

ANDREW: What are you talking about? hey, you promised me a pint!

PUCKHEAD: YOU TALK! TALK IN NATURAL BRITISH ACCENT!

ANDREW: GIVE ME MY PINT! where is it, my pint!!!

ONE CLASSMATE: what is pint?

Joel, you're gonna have to provide a little more info. How much MONEY? WHERE? HOW LONG IS THE CLASS? ETC.?

I'm disappointed in you, Joel. You obviously don't know "Brittish" culture.

The closest thing to a generic "British Accent" is the Bostonian.

Nah I'd say a generic accent would be Midlands. Not brummie or yam yam but something like Coventry, Nottingham, Warwick
