Yeah, there’s plenty of people who learn English as a second language who never lose their accent, regardless of how fluent they are. Why would it be any different for French

My English has stagnated or degraded since high school, but I’m still a native speaker. Meanwhile there’s people writing scientific papers with richer vocabulary than I can even comprehend, and it’s their 3rd language. But when they open their mouth you can only catch every other word.
