The first thing I learned what US people (before became one myself) take
English pronunciation for was... Well, I asked US person at the
conference: does he know this person (and gave the name of English
person). The answer was:
"that guy with accent"
Isn't it funny to call correct English pronunciation an accent? ;-)
(adding "lough track" so who don't feel it's funny still can lough here
taking it as a joke ;-)
