you Tube cockney and copy individual words and sounds, copy lines of Dialogue that is said by who ever is on their speaking cockney and practise a lot like this when you have got it by repeating then go around and have normal conversations with people in cockney talk it around the house!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

don't pronounce your 'h's e!.g: harry becomes 'arry!.

Prononce your 'th's as 'f's e!.g!. think become fink

Say london as 'lundun'

More will come to me! Basically just type it into youtube and listen to it as much as you can, and try some cockney rhyming slang just to impress them! lol
