Is it possible to "pick up" accents?

Answer #7

Yes its a common phenomenon that our accent changes with our places of living.Like if we live in Asia we will use more sounds and if we live in America we basically pronounce words in a fast manner and in a broad way. [BITSAT sample paper=http://funadvice.com/r/166e1lh716m]
