 Re: is possible to catch a british accent ?
More about 'catching': when you acquire something through contact, and it's a bad thing, you 'catch' it - so you 'catch' a cold, or smallpox, or rabies. An alternative - that carries no sense of good/bad - is 'pick up'; you can 'pick up' either a cold or an accent. This phrasal verb is not very formal, but you may find it useful colloquially/
