(Let's not JUST talk about whether or not an accent is good or bad). I'm a native German speaker and have moved to the US a couple months ago, having previously dated an American girl for 1.5 years. It's very funny, some people tell me I don't have any accent at all. One girl once asked me if I was from Virigina after we had talked for 30 minutes.
