My company used to have a partnership with Nokia so my colleagues and I had plenty of contact with Finns by phone and in person. We were always astounded by their ability to speak excellent English. Every one of them sounded American to us though and when we asked them why that should be they replied that they watched US TV shows all the time for fluency practice. Back in those days "Kojak" and other police shows were very popular and I was half expecting the Finnish guys to be reading me my rights or something.
I have been able to almost lose my accent a few times in my life, but it requires that I practice speaking a lot. When I don't and just listen I get it back.
