Just so you know , there’s no such thing as a “ British accent “ , in reality . The people in the North have a different accent to those in the South and within that each major town/ county has its own accents . I’m originally from Liverpool and speak with a “ Scouse “ accent . I’m also known as a “ Scouser “ . Manchester is only 50 miles away and they speak with a “ Manc “ accent. Londoners are known as “ cockneys “ and speak with a cockney accent . Guy Ritchie movies often show a variety of British accents in them .
I believe sitcoms are the easiest series that can be found in Netflix
The English game i strongly recommend.

I'd go for documentaries and sitcoms. They are easier to understand than dramas. Set the audio and subtitles to English and have fun.

Introduce idioms with meaningful contexts, such as stories, dialogues, or real life scenarios . Use images or drawings to illustrate the literal and figurative meanings. Encourage learners to create sentences or role play-using idioms. Group idioms by themes ( e.g weather animals) to aid memory. Incorporate quizzes, matching activities, or charades for engagement.
