    If you move before you are about 11 years old you have a good chance of having a perfect accent. Otherwise, it's highly likely there will be a trace of your original accent somewhere. It would take vocal coaching to eradicate it.

    Yes. Actors can do it, so why can't you?

    Yes, it's called studying.   How do you think it is done when an actor is acting?   Remember movies?  Do you think those actors are really from a country they are portraying?    Tell me you are kidding?  Tell me you really don't think that a language with all its nuances, accent and all,  cannot be learned?  It can be learned.  Not by everyone, of course, but it can be.

    STUDY and want it, and it can be done.

    Yes, there are exceptions. I'm only telling you what is known through speech pathology.
