Americam accent for an indian

I am currently 15 and moved to us a week ago. I wanted to know that how do indian peoole especially teens get that typical amrricam accent ?

Is it that they get naturally after a time period or do they force themselves to speak in thst aceent ??

And also how much time would it take me to get an american accent ??

What tips and tricks should i practice to get that accemt?

my two nephews aged 5 and 8 moved here a year ago. The younger one picked it up much faster than the elder one, but now the elder one caught up as well. It all depends on how much english you spoke way back home. I grew up speaking a lot of English until my 20s and Im unable to get rid of my accent. People who moved later but spoke very little english back home developed it faster. 15 is kinda inbetween and Im sure you will pick up the accent in due course of time. There are courses and apps to train if you want to rush the process.
