How to speak with a foreign accent?
To imitate a fake foreign accent, it is better to soak up the culture of the country or region so as not to fall into caricature. The world's cultural heritage is dependent on women and men and their knowledge, which should be shared, whatever their origin or their accent.
Example: Hello can become Haylo or Helaw depending on the region
