Hello people here. I'm a new user but I have moved from Italy to England for a while. I am a man and I have one kid only, who is a boy. He is about to transfer to an university in America next semester. Since he does not browse this website, he asked me to post some questions regarding to life in America, hopefully whoever here that are living in America can answer.
He asked if he should switch his accent from English to American one. We speak in received pronunciation and I say it is necessary. He insisted it would be necessary as it could better communicate with his mates in America; and he is curious what do American accents sound to people here, especially for example, compare to the standard British accent. He said it is monotone and almost flat, which I'm not sure.
He also plans to rush and join a fraternity while he is in America, what are some perks and disadvantages? Should he go for it or not?
Cheers.
