My cousin moved to Australia 6 years ago when she was 34, and she now has a strong Aussie accent.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

If your cousin claims she has a new Australian accent in her 30's, it's totally fake. Nobody naturally changes their accent that radically after adulthood. Once it's formed in childhood & your teens, it's pretty much set for life.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

Actually that happens to a lot of people.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

You're an idiot. People develop accents to the way they speak throughout their lives, any where from slight nuances to drastic changes. When you live in a foreign country you tend to pick up their accent at least to a point, usually because you are trying to get them to understand you and if you do it long enough it starts to become more or less permanent. Kids younger than 14 are especially susceptible to this because they are still young enough to naturally emulate those around them.

She does a better British accent than me.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

You do know you're born not born with an accent, right? It is acquired.

First of all, my husband moved to Canada from Ireland at the age of 8 and he lost his Irish accent and sounds like any other Canadian-born. So it's not impossible. Second of all, she doesn't sound completely British, if you listen carefully she still sounds American with a bit of an accent depending on the word. Her accent is a mixture of both. Stop hating.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

I don't think she's faking it. I moved to Oklahoma from Michigan when I was 5 and after living there for 10 yrs, I have a fairly strong southern accent. So it's very possible her accent is real.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

8 Years old is a prime age to change accents when moving to a new country and she sounds a lot like someone who grew up in 'Surrey Darling'.

Re: She fakes her British accent because Americans think its cool

A lot of Americans do not think it is cool.
