Children who attend "expensive" international schools abroad from an early age often end up with very American accents.


Yes, or British, depending on if it's a British or American international school.

When I lived in Thailand I met lots of Thai people who spoke perfect unaccented English for this reason. Whether they had an American or English accent depended on if they went to Bangkok Patana School (British) or International School Bangkok (American).
