We should only use ‘shall’ in UK English, if not it will be taken as a joke in US English. We can use it to express responsibilities and statements.
It’s essential to know the differences between US and UK English to understand the context and of course to understand the cultural difference such as pronunciation.
I am not really into UK English because I think it’s more universal the American English, but if I would, then I would listen a lot to the pronunciation and nuances.

Juliana Berdugo

To make sure the employees are doing great and not having problems, I shall make a personal reunion with each of them.

You fools! The queen is arriving soon.
Who shall bring her a gourmet dinner?

I think shall is used as you already said before, as a replacement for “Going to” or other variations.
Knowing the difference between US and UK English is important so as to understand the whole language with idioms and a variety of expressions.
I certainly want to learn it but for fun purposes, I think being able to reproduce a UK accent is so hilarious.

Shall

When to use “Shall” :

Almost never used in the united states. very particular to british english
Used to express conviction and responsibilities
Important to know for IELTS and other proficiency exams

Reminder:

Try not to use “shall” in the United States
In American English, “shall” is mostly used in joking contexts
Instead, use the “will” and “going to be” as we previously learned

* "Shall" is commonly used in UK to express responsibilities or convictions. It is not used in USA, however people use this phrase to laugh of this formality. This same phrase would be "Will" or "Going to" in America. * It's pretty important to know the differences between US and UK English because depending on the context, phrases or words could have different meaning. * I'd like to learn more about UK English because I'd like to go there and have a similar accents to sound more friendly.
