A compliment that made my day

[stek]

They're just being polite, in all my time in Russia all I got 'byez askyenta, byez asksyenta' ('without accent' for those who can't work it out) when I could only understand 10% and speak even less...

Only total immersion will give you a proper local accent, not a book or a course.

I've been complimented on my French and my German by people who didn't know I'm English - "An Englishman who speaks three languages? That's rare."

My German is Swiss accented. My French has a distinct Calais overlay.
