>>>>How's your Russian now? My old roommate married an American girl from Dayton OH and she has lived in Turkey for 30 years. When I visited them I was amused to see she now speaks English with a Turkish accent <g> Another friend, a girl from Minnesota went off to live in Australia and when she called me ten years later she sounded like Crocodile Dundee.

>>>I'm sure she speaks turkish with an american accent. My wife is a turkish who moved Turkey from Bulgaria at 8 years old has a different accent. Everyone can understand a Bulgaria immigrated turkish's strange accent even if moved 50 years ago...

>>And not any American accent. Dayton, OH has its own peculiar accent... :o) It's one of the few accents from around the world that I find grating...
