Similar story here but for Don Quixote. My Spanish is horrible- grammar, pronunciation- Mexican spouse kids me that I sound Russian. But I persist and I’ve found when I am in Mexico people there are forgiving of my odd syntax and accent.

You make an effort and the Mexican people appreciate it! Kind people, great country 😎

I had a friend originally from Switzerland. She said there is German but her dialect was French-German. (???) I’m not sure if that’s the real name or a translation thing. But when she moved to the US, she moved to Minneapolis. She ended up French-German AND Minnesotan accent. In Virginia. A+ effort!

Could be the German spoken in Alsace 🤔 she must have a unique accent!

Many accents come from the person that taught you the language. Example: learning English from someone in Ireland versus the southern US. You’ll speak English in their accent.

Yep exactly! I’ve also heard p say that the language you heard while a teenager will be YOUR accent. My parents from Jersey City, NJ deliberately tried to NOT have that accent. Then we travelled the US as Air Force brats. Some ppl say we have “no accent,” but they know we’re not “from here!” 🙂
