> Parisian accent as the most prestigious and neutral accent you are going to offend the Normans with these digs :-) The most effective way to learn to speak French might be to land somewhere you enjoy being, that would be my number one criterion I think. Paris is a fine choice if you like the city. You might end up sounding Parisian from the rest of the world of course. Your foreign accent will probably be stronger anyway.
