Re: Accents

I know someone who moved here when they were in their early teens and never lost their accent, someone else moved here around the same time, and has a completely American accent. Depends on how hard you work at it I guess.

This is the point. IMO, we need not work hard at changing our accent. Over time, in a diffusive and NATURAL process, we will start pronouncing certain words differently and naturally. As long as what we say is clear, accent can be natural. It is beautiful to hear various accents.
