If you want to learn to speak english well, watch those programs that use English properly. Blackadder. Archer. Sherlock. Even some of the marvel movies (GOTG) are very careful in how they pronounce and articulate words. Then watch every Brian Cox and Attenborough documentary. You might come out with a bit of a British accent but that is far far better than any youtube-derived accent. Better you sound like Stirling A…
So you're equating using English "properly" with British (specifically, English) English? From a linguistic point of view, you couldn't be more wrong. No variety of any language is superior to another

#153I'm not actually sure how I feel about this. Australian English is distinct, and one of its key features is heavy use of shortened words and dropped letters. For example, the word "going" becomes "goin".
You chose an example that is ubiquitous in USA, like "gonna".
Ending = endin Surfing = surfin
In Australia "Gonna" = "Going to"
