The one where you spoke Japanese with a stress accent was funny because it sounded like alot of the people in my Japanese class. Alot of them don't seem to realise the pronouncing い like the 'i' in the english word 'fit' probably does not sound like the same vowel to a Japanese person.
EDIT:
It's strange. I moved from Scotland to England when I was 8 and can roll my r's very easily but since my brother was 5 when he moved he can't. I wonder how long it takes for different nuances in accents to develop.

Just thought I'd clarify my native language is not Spanish.
In any case, you'll still pick up an accent by living somewhere long enough. It's funny when you listen to some actors who live in England and the US. When they move back and forth, in interviews they have hints of the other accent still on their voice.
