The discussions of accents above, fascinate me! I've always picked them unconsciously.
In my studies of Russian, I never realized I was using the intonation and pronunciation of an educated native speaker. My vocabulary was the only thing that gave me away when in the USSR! I was made aware of it in Moscow by Russian friends and teachers who kept insisting at first that I must be from a Russian speaking family in the States. It was certainly flattering to be asked to repeat our phonetics work as examples of correct pronunciation for the non-native Russian speakers of my class! Now if only I could get those dratted numbers properle declined in dates and times...
