When you live in another country that speaks English, you naturally start to fall into their idioms of speech because it is what you hear all day every day.
That said, when you have a (divine!) accent to begin with, that is unlikely to ever completely fade.
In the case of Ms ZJ, her Welsh accent is still 98% intact, with very occasional hints of the American speech she hears every day.
Some people fall into accents far more easily. The son of a friend of ours has lived in Austrlalia for a year, and on his return home, he had a complete dyed-in-the-wool Aussie twang. When questioned, he said that he had started to talk like the people around him, because his English accent totally baffled them, and the got fed up with repeating everything he said.
