I accustom well

Is this sentence natural? Which is correct if not both? After regardless do you need 2 options?


I accustom well /get accustomed we’ll to a city regardless of whether I hate it at first.


Thanks

"Accustom" can't be used that way. I think you want "acclimate". You can get accustomed to a city, but for some reason "get accustomed well to a city" doesn't sound right; instead of "well" use, for example, "easily" or "quickly".

  • "Accustom" can't be used that way.
  • I think you want "acclimate".
  • You can get accustomed to a city, but for some reason "get accustomed well to a city" doesn't sound right; instead of "well" use, for example, "easily" or "quickly".
  • You can acclimate well, but I think you mean that you acclimate easily or quickly.
  • As for "whether", it's fine without an expressed alternative as you have it, but I guess I usually like it better with "or not".
