learn_russianIs there a stereotyped impression about American-accented Russian? For example, do many Russians usually think it sounds goofy, pompous, sexy, etc.?
What are the main speech characteristics that identify an American accent in Russian?
Are there any typical usages of Russian that will immediately identify a person as an American, even if they are speaking perfectly accented Russian? (E.g. In Japanese, I believe, overusing "I (watashi)" as a pronoun would make you sound American, even if you are using perfect pronunciation)
