    I'm learning mando at the moment, and I'm sure i'm developing a weird hybrid accent from all the different teachers who teach me each semester.

    i think so cause some of my relatives developed an accent for their chinese even though it was their first language...

    yeah, some of them do...like if they don't speak them for a long time then they will start having accent.

    I think if you really want to grow an accent and really try to change it than it might work.

    Dialect though might be tougher. I've lived in Sweden my whole life yet, people from the north of Sweden can tell my dialect apart from those Swedes I'm grown up with.

    Obviously does not sound as good as your British accent!

    ^^^Stalker...lol..BBear...uv got a lover boii...lol....
    back on topic...i think i have a chinese and english accent...lol
    when i type..of course i have no problem...but when i speak
    english...i mite think in chinese...sometimes i some how cant finish a word
    which leaves some sort of weird chinese accent..lol..and
    even tho i dunt seem to have a speaking chinese difficulty...i still
    didnt keep on learning to read and write chinese when i was little...
    for a 3 year old i speaked chinese pretty good...so in the process of learning
    english i kinda lost my chinese for a few years....so when i speak too fast
    in chinese i probably have an accent...
