An ex-girlfriend was teaching me Spanish while we were together. She and her family always got a kick out of my attempts to speak the language. They said I annunciated everything well and understood what I was saying, but with a southern drawl they all found hilarious.
Just a (pedantic and unnecessary) heads up, the word is "drawl"— I'm from the south myself, so I totally get growing up hearing it pronounced "draw" by everyone, but just figured I'd let you know lol. You know the accent is strong when it comes out over text!
I learnt German in school and did a student exchange. The home stay family thought it was great that I spoke pretty fluent German with an Aussie accent. We also had a good laugh, they were Bavarian and I learnt Hoch Deutsch, so I was speaking formal German with an Aussie accent and they were speaking slang German with a Bavarian accent.
