Oh come on guys, you are missing the best accents to laugh at. When someone has an accent in their native language, which is the same as yours and you both learn another language, they will SILL have a different accent in the second language..

ahhh the accent within an accent....... my family originate from Italy, I was born here. I can speak a bit of Italian but when I do, it's with my Aussie accent. The result is apparently quite funny. I can get my message across but whoever I'm talking to keeps patting me on the head and giggling.......

I mean. Just...Wow.

And you let her get away ...?
