It'll take bout one year to pick up the accent.  

Answer 2

Answer 3

Accent is something that is there not to bother but to refine you when you reduce the accent. Happy Journey.

Answer 4

prob up to a year and yess if you interact with the irish people you will eventually have the accent  

Answer 5

Northern Ireland isn't England, it's Northern Ireland, it currently governs itself with it's own elected assembly and hopefully full control will be handed over from London shortly.  The population of Northern Ireland speak with many different accents from English to Irish to Chinese to Polish to German to Russian.  It seems a strange ambition to have to want to come to a country just to pick up an accent, whatever floats your boat I suppose.  I hope you like filling in lots of paperwork and being asked lots of questions, don't be disappointed if you are refused entry.

Answer 6

If you live there long enough, and adapt to their way of talking, and talk in it as much as you can. eventually, you'll get a small accent. Not a heavy one.  

Answer 7

KEEP TALKING BABE AND YOU WILL GET THERE

Answer 8

That sounds like a slightly strange ambition lol, but I suppose if you spend enough time over there you'll slowly start to pick up the accent.

Answer 9

It may catch on, but not immediately. I'm hispanic who was raised in miami. I moved to a state where people everywhere have a country accent. I caught on quite quickly. Because you like irish people soo much, you may develope one quickly whether its on purpose or naturally.

Answer 10

If you live here long enough then you'll Get it. You Might keep your Own Accent. Anyway,Hope I help and Thanks for All the Nice Stuff you said about us.

Answer 11

Yes, It comes with the house.

Answer 12

You probably won't pick up the accent completely, but if you live there for a while I'm sure some of your inflections will be more Irish than wherever you're from.

If you want a complete Irish accent, you can always try getting a voice coach. They can "teach" you how to speak with an accent and in time that could become natural for you. It's like how famous people pick up accents for roles in movies - they're taught them.

I doubt it'll sound perfect, but it'd be a lot better than just moving there and hoping you pick it up.

Answer 13

Northern Ireland is in fact england

Answer 14

I'm sure eventually but not anytime soon.

P.S You've got some pretty... wild life goals.

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

Please stay away from here.

Answer 17

probably not because baby's get that accent from listening to how their parents talking and they sound the words and letters with that accents. but u could probably get the accent if you stay there long enough.  

Answer 18

Well my aunt moved to texas and lived in wisconsin her entire life. and only living there for 2 years she had an accent.

so it is possible. it just depends how long your around the people.

Answer 19

well if you move there ya cause youll here it all around you  and you will get used to it

Answer 20

In work I sit beside a fella from Donegal in the North of Ireland and I can't understand what hes saying half the time.  And I'm from Dublin.

Most natural English speakers who move to Ireland don't start speaking with an Irish accent, but they pick up variations of Hibernian English very quickly.  Everything goes from being OK to Grand, fools to eejits, fun to craic. Its funny to hear it, but don't loose your own accent, you never know someone might find your accent very s**y.

Answer 21

You might get it over time. even if you do it will sound normal to you so you wont hear your accent. like the american accent, we cant hear it.
