Many accents come from the person that taught you the language. Example: learning English from someone in Ireland versus the southern US. You’ll speak English in their accent.

Yep exactly! I’ve also heard p say that the language you heard while a teenager will be YOUR accent. My parents from Jersey City, NJ deliberately tried to NOT have that accent. Then we travelled the US as Air Force brats. Some ppl say we have “no accent,” but they know we’re not “from here!” 🙂

Navy brat. Overseas no one from from there except the locals
