Around what age will children retain the accent of their mother tongue?

Asked by sferik (6121points) September 13th, 2008

Let’s say I want my children to have a British accent but I want to raise them in America. How many years would I need to keep them in England?

Is having an accent a conscious decision or does it become ingrained at some point?
