I like it!
I'm a little leary of talking about accents because my Danish ex-girlfriend was very sensitive about her accent. She insisted she didn't have one, and her speech was very clear, but she would say things like, "Build a fire in the wooden stove."
I was in Denmark with her family once, at a table with about 8 people and 3 English speakers. They got into a discussion about language and ask me if i didn't think Dutch was the ugliest language. I said it sounded just like Danish to me. MY GOD were they pissed! You would have thought I had stabbed Queen Margrethe!
