Yes, it is possible to pick up an accent in a second language as an adult.
It takes two or three time as long in your 40's.
You could even pass as a native if you invest time to perfect it and stay committed.

As far as my knowledge goes; strewth and crikey can be used interchangeably.
Strewth is mostly used by older people though
It's like a 60s thing or something i guess?
Crikey is mostly used by real bushed out people and bogans

Have you ever met anyone without an accent who is not a native speaker?

>>70681819
I have actually.
I met a chinese student who lived in NZ for about a decade and spoke with a mix of an aussie(NZ) and chinese accent.

I swear on me mum ur a cheeky cunt arnt you

I guess if you speak to the locals for long enough you pick up their accent/dialect aswell. Still my uni English teacher said that while she was in Scotland she would struggle to understand the locals while they were talking amongst themselves
Also the way kiwis pronounce words with "e" really irritates me sometimes

>>70679830
Why would you want to pick it up? It sounds so retarded

>>70686748
I just like it. Many foreigners try to learn how to speak like brits to sound more posh, but I prefer aussie english because it' s less "formal" . Also what does "fair dinkum" mean?
