It was rather common when Peppa Pig was big where American children would get slightly British accents because they would pick it up from the show.

I hear a similar thing has been happening with the Australian accent due to the popularity of Bluey

And ironically, this is happening as the Australian accent vanishes thanks to American cultural influences.

Take that Americans. Now your kids say “bins”

I did something similar to myself when i was preteen because i got bullied for my incredibly particular regional merkin accent. At the time I got really into westerns. I still talk like a stereotypical movie cowboy.

I once heard that Lenin spoke with an Irish accent. I know a few people from South America that also spoke with a US accent because that’s where their teachers are from.

I’ve known quite a few foreigners with distinctly American accents because they learnt it from Hollywood films.

His English tutor was Irish. James Connolly’s son (yes, that James Connolly) met Lenin and noted that he spoke English with an Irish accent.
