I once had my German described by a native German speaker - apparently using a common term for how American's speak: "Bubble-Gum Deutsch".

He didn't make clear if he was referring to the word order (as in my previous post) or accent, but my accent for most languages I attempt is usually complimented

As for taking things seriously? I greatly recommend you follow the path of schizophrenia. It has certainly worked out well for me. If you spend enough time in the CP Lounge, you'll find I'm part of a vast legion devoted to that honored path.
