>but still have a noticeable German accent
my German accent only got less notable after speaking a ton of English living in English speaking countries for several years. For some reason losing the accent was way harder than getting rid of an accent in French.
Especially words like 'strength'. If German is your first language there is something about 'r' and 'th' sounds that's so hard to get right.
- fsckboy 3y agoa segment of Americans pronounce that word "shtrenkth", kinda drives me crazy. Colin Powell did, and my little sister does. I have no explanation.
