If I lived In London, England for 2 months, Would I get any kind of british accent? I'm from w. pennsylvania.

Wow, what I coincidence, I'm from near Pittburgh and I'm also in England. I've been here 5 months and my accent hasn't changed a bit. DON'T try to talk with a British accent when you're here, people will just find it strange and silly. Just be yourself. Nobody will even notice your foreign accent, especially in London with so many people from all over the world. If you're there for 2 months, you'll probably be able to mimic the accent much better than you could previously. I can say 'Youalright?' perfectly, since I hear it so much.

Why do you want a British accent? Are you trying to fool people into thinking you're something that you're really not? Do you think you'll be more popular or more attractive to members of the opposite sex with a British accent? You're better off canning the poseur act and being yourself.

you wont get an accent because it takes way longer to pick up something like that. you may pick up a few words here and there but your dialect will not change drastically. HOPE I HELPED

I am English, born there but raised in Europe. I have not lived in the UK for nearly 25 years. I still have my British accent. I have a feeling that after 2 months you will still have your accent.

It is quite possible, you know. My sister gets an accent after only six weeks there while I didn't. But I also know people who have been living in London for a few years now and never picked up any accent. I know some French-Canadian singers that moved to Paris for their career. Some of them always kept their strong accent while others picked up the Parisian accent quite easily and really fast. It may have something to do about your ability to mimic others and your ear. Some musicians can hear a tune once and be able to play it while others need the partition to play it. They simply cannot play by ear. I think it is the same phenomenon. Angele

you could, depends on how fast you pick it up (talking that way) best way to pick up any dialect is to constantly be around people and talking with them , practice always helps.

If you`d live in New York for 2 months and be able to talk like a new-yorker than you`re talented and you can succeed with english accent too.......make sense? i don`t think the english accent is more difficult than texan or new york

Dont know if you'll pick up on their accent or not, but Im sure it's possible... I live in California and after talking on the phone to my family in the south for only an hour, people say I start talking with a southern accent for a little bit, it's kind of funny!

No, not at all. I'm from Sydney and have been living in London for 8 months. I still talk as Aussie as ever, and proud of it. Oh, and why oh why would you want a British accent?
