I would say that over time your accent would fade naturally, and that a natural accent will nearly always attract less attention then a forced "local" one. Oh, and by "throw yourself in" I mean that you need to fully immerse yourself - meet people asap, because as with anywhere, if you don't include yourself then you'll start to be seen as an outsider, which would make things diffucult later.
