No. It's quite common to mix them up or to overcompensate and shove some in where there
shouldn't be any, though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Like christian, I like doing an imitation of a Russian accent at times, for entertainment purposes.
I recorded a voice video to try to explain my interpretation of the accent. For anyone who's interested, it's here Edited by Tecktight on 01 August 2011 at 8:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh, Russian accent. I'm from Lithuania so I sometimes meet Russian people and their
accent...well, I do not want to offend you but when I think 'Russian accent' I see some aggressive-looking guy with shaved head. Sorry. I do not have anything against these people. (When I think 'Russian language' I think about much more pleasing things, trust me;)) Russian accent somehow makes words (of many languages) sound harsher and I wonder why as Russian itself is so melodious. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Of course, it is true because there are no articles in Russian. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There are no articles in Russian or other Slavic languages, i.e. errors in using a(n) and the, usually omission but
sometimes hypercorrection. Heavy palatalization of most every consonant (again, this is not true of all Slavic languages). Dark L tending towards W (this does exist in other Slavic languages, such as the Polish Ł and in Bulgarian as well. Trilled R and difficulty pronouncing the English R. Vowel pronunciation simplified to a reduced set of vowels. No "glide" on the vowels (this is something common with a lot of other language speakers, since those languages also lack vowels). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've never seen anyone who had problems with English retroflex "r".

Here in America, people often told me that I have a German accent.
