Don't get how hard this is for some of you hillbillies to understand. If you're a dual language speaker who spends a lot of time with Brazilians, whose parents, who probably taught them English is brazilian, you may pick up an accent

I need more background and I'm too lazy to google it. She was born in the US, lived in the US, but was raised by full-fledged Brazilian parents in the US? Or what? I mean, I have some Hmong friends who were born and raised here as well and their English is still terrible at 30 years old, so this is totally understandable.

then HOW COME, only a few years ago, and her entire life up to that point, she had no accent?? whether she had 1 parent who spoke porteguese or not...she grew up in america...went to an american school, had american friends...english is her native first language...when she went to high school, she most certainly wasn't speaking porteguese....

My wife is from the Bahamas, born and raised and moved here to the states as a teenager. She still has her accent. She didn't replace it for an American accent. Neither did her family. I've worked with Brits who have lived in the U.S. for more than a decade. No change. I know people who are fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, it doesn't affect their American accents.

A small change in how one talks? Yes, maybe. A complete overhaul of how you speak in a matter of a few years? I'm not buying it.
