14 steps how to become a real british

1.Learn how to speak with a British accent. There is a great guide already on wikiHow about learning to speak with a believable fake British accent, but some things will be covered here again. If you are trying to fit in with Brits, you will probably fail despite whatever preparations you try, but you can do a fairly good job if you are entirely focused. Firstly, British people from day-to-day do not speak as though they were visiting the Queen. There are lots of different accents, many of which are very hard to impersonate, so try to pick an easy one. Nottingham is quite easy. 

2.Use slang as appropriate. Depending on the exact region your from, income and lifestyle, you need to talk appropriately. (There are some nice British/American slang dictionaries online) If you are going to struggle, you can pretend to have migrated to the UK, or be a second generation immigrant.

3.London, particularly near airports/old airports (e.g. Croydon) is very racially diverse, so many distinct Asian accents and face shapes can be seen. Learn to tell between Japanese, Chinese and Indians, if not between different Indian regions.

4.(Optional and Disputed) Be lots of fun. Many British people are full of energy and it makes people want to be around them more. Do something impulsive, or try being a daredevil. Others will love it.

5.Pick a British soccer team and support it! Learn the basic rules of soccer if you haven't already (learn the offside rule!) and pretend you don't care much for US football. Despite what you might think, it's not a good idea to wear soccer jerseys (called "shirts") all the time - you may be seen as chavy, particularly if with a baseball cap. Always refer to soccer as football or footy!

6.If you drink tea, do not expect ice tea to be a substitute for visitors - British people rarely use it! Use Yorkshire Tea, or PG Tips, make it PROPERLY, but don't make a big deal about it. Add milk, but don't add more than two teaspoons of sugar if any, but ask others how they like theirs, offering instant coffee (refereed to just as coffee).

7.Wear the same kind of clothes British people wear - NOT what they're stereotyped to wear! British fashion is very similar to US fashion, just with different brands - if you are unsure, look in New Look, Jack Wills, River Island and Top-shop/Top-man for teenagers/young adults, and Next, Debenhams, John Lewis and Marks & Spencer's for adults. Again, don't dress like a "chav"!

8.More importantly, reflect your personality and income in your clothing, don't dress like a princess if your pretending to be inner-city, nor use one of expensive shops named above. But don't use Lidel unless your a minority, or you will look out of place.

9.Meet other British people and socialise with them. You will see how different they act. If there are no British people around go on the internet, it really helps to have an British idol, like a celebrity or a friend. Don't make racist remarks. Don't make any about immigrants, unless you are claiming to be apolitical, conservative/UKIP/BNP. 

10.Location, location, location! It is important, firstly, to have a 'home location'-- what county are you supposedly from? What city/town? What district did you live in? Where is it located? What is it near? What are the customs there? It may also be important to know important counties and cities. If you can't locate London on a map, it will be fairly obvious that you are not a Brit.

11.Wording and spelling is a very important factor. Look up a British-American dictionary online and study the varying words and spellings carefully. Remember, it'sfavourite, not favorite!

12.Get to know some popular British shows, stores, and other such things. Here is a suggestion: start watching the Mighty Boosh and Big Brother. Watching BBC America will help a lot! If you must talk about popular shops (don't call them Stores) like "Topshop", "Marks and Spencer" (often referred to as "M and S" or "Marks and Sparks"), and "Harrods": only old people and tourists shop at Harrods! 

13.Take it from someone who fools people daily, interjections are going to make or break your ability to pull off an English accent. Without the ability to ponder and react in a natural way, you're done for. E.g.: Hello! Ah, oh, hmm, well (big one), huh, etc.

14.Don't go around wearing British flag tee-shirts and talking about tea and scones. Be casual and cool with your new-found Britishness. Fix your tea like a tea-fixing master and chug it down like it is life-giving tonic, but don't brag. And British-flag shirts are just entirely too obvious: how many Americans do you see walking around wearing American flag shirts? Only old conservatives.
