  1. The American accent is a bit special I guess because it is already the product of accents from people with a different native language. It's also the only accent Dutch people take back home when they lived there for decades and speak Dutch with an American accent. I don't hear that in Dutch people who lived elsewhere for decades. Europe didn't used to be this multilingual. 30 years ago it was mostly the Dutch, Flemish and the Scandinavians who were this multilingual, and that was special to the people in France, Italy, Spain and even few Germans were fluent in English.
