Question

Will you form a British accent if you are in London , England too long?

Answer 1

If you mean London accent, the answer is no.  There are no British people in London, except day trippers.

Answer 2

British accent dont extist there loads of accents in Britain. You could pick up a very faint London accent but 30% of Londoners were not even born in London. Im black but me and my father were born and raised in London my dad was born and raised on the Docklands and I was born and raised in Hackney both in East London but we both have different accents you see not even London has one accent. My dads accent would be something like Cockney where as mine aint because today theres alot of people born abroad living here and even teaching you will be lucky to get anything near a single British accent here

Answer 3

there is no such thing as a British accent there is a English accent Scottish accent Northern Irish accent and a Welsh accent

if you stayed in London England too long you would have a London accent there is lots of different regional accents in England

Answer 6

Yes you can, I was there for a month (in Lakenheath England) and lived with the locals and you do catch onto some of the words that they say, the way that they say it... But I don't think you would be speaking like them to the point they won't know that you are not from there. Unless you really want to, then you must use their lingo.

If you go to Texas, you eventually start talking like them unless you really make yourself aware of your 'normal' accent.

We all have some type of accent.

Its all mind over matter (speech in this case)...

Have fun in London, I did. WONDERFUL

Answer 7

Lakenheath is in East Anglia, in the east of England (its basically a US air force base in the middle of a lot of farmland), and is a long way from London.

There is no such thing as one single British accent....Britain has very many different accents depending on the geographical area. Just like the US, or any other country.

There is a London accent, ( and I dont mean "cockney", which has almost disappeared) and if you stay in London for a few years then you might pick it up, but many people don't ever really sound right  and always sound "foreign" to us Londoners.

By the way...its impossible to be in London for "too long".

Answer 8

London is a very cosmopolitan city with people from all over the world living, working and visiting there, and as such you'll hear many accents and languages. For this reason I think it's unlikely you'll lose the American* accent.

I'm assuming you are American because you call London 'Londonengland'. Americans always call it Londonengland where just London will do :)
