###Unless you develop an accent automatically, I don't think it's appropriate.

People will assume you are just "having fun with accents" or something.

I grew up in the Middle East mostly, moving from city to city, and visited my home country India often for vacation. And therefore, I've been to several different schools and colleges, and exposed to all kinds of people and accents. I've also managed to pick up 4 or 5 Indian languages plus Arabic.

The more interactions and conversations I have with a particular group of people, the more their accents mix into mine subconsciously. Can't help it.

So even when I speak my own mother tongue, some of my relatives find my accent a bit strange and have on occasions asked me what's the deal.
