To increase the chances of ending on good terms, just come out and let your mate know your feelings. Don't beat around the bush. Be direct yet gentle in explaining your decision to end the relationship. You might say something like, "I care about you, but I don't think we're working well together anymore. This relationship has run its course." You may be tempted to try a few passive-aggressive tactics, such as cheating on them in the hopes that you'll get caught or being harsh and dropping hints in the hopes they'll break up with you first. These strategies will only create more drama around the breakup and decrease the chances of the two of you being able to sustain your mutual friendships. You should also watch for passive-aggressive behaviors on your partner's end. If they are pushing you away, then it could be because the desire to end the relationship is mutual. Acknowledge how your partner must be feeling about the relationship ending. This shows that although you want it to end, you still care about their feelings. Doing this also increases the chances of the two of you being amicable in the future. Validation might sound like, "I know you must be hurting and I want you to know that I didn't intend to hurt you." If you both would like to stay in touch with mutual friends, it may be a good idea to get ahead of the issue and decide upfront how you will handle it. Will someone have dibs on weekend brunch while the other person gets birthday parties? Once you and your ex have dealt with the particulars of ending the relationship, discuss how you will navigate the world of shared friendships. Keep the lines of communication open to make it easier to plan gatherings and events with mutual friends.

Look on YouTube and watch movies and interviews for good examples of what you're trying to emulate. However, beware of impersonators out there -- and there are plenty. Brad Pitt, Richard Gere, and Tom Cruise are not good examples. Stick to true native speakers; RTE is a safe place to start. It is important to note that the northern counties have a quite different accent [look up the Ulster dialect]. In the same respect you never truly master a foreign language if you don't live in the country, you will never master an accent if you don't live among the people. If you go for vacation, do your best to feel out the local flavor. Go to small restaurants and listen to those around you. Make small talk with the vendors on the streets. Hire a native tour guide to show you around. Make your exposure as 24/7 as possible. Just as there are American and British English dictionaries, there are Irish dictionaries, too. What's more, resources abound when it comes to sources on colloquialisms and idiosyncrasies of the accent. Invest your time and money into this endeavor if you truly want your accent to shine. If a dictionary seems a bit much and would just rest on your shelf gathering dust, buy a phrase book. The idioms and figures of speech will help you get into the emerald zone.
