If you’re born in a certain country you will speak in that native accent. But what’s the science behind acquiring a new accent or vice versa?

That’s interesting. I was born [and spent my first 10 years] in England but we moved to Northern Ireland. I picked up the Irish twang very quickly but as soon as I went back to my English Grandparents house in the summer the twang completely disappeared.

Now that I’ve been here [NI] 27 years, people ask me if I’m Australian or South African. LOL
