Default Re: How to learn an accent?

With time your original accent will gradually become less pronounced, especially if you surround yourself with native English speakers. However, very few people lose their accents completely. I know a French woman who married an Englishmen in 1950 and went to live in England. She still has a French accent, even though her English comprehension and grammar are perfect! The important thing is that people understand what you are saying, as rewboss said.
