but I think you do learn to enunciate more clearly.  And of course your vocabulary changes.

This happens to me when I step off the plane.  Or even just if we have a day at home where we don't consume any American Media. My husband's accent is so strong, and my kids talk like him half the time, so I guess it just rubs off on me quickly.
