My  German teacher said I sounded like I came from Berlin.  Spanish-speaking
friends (when i could actually speak the language) claimed  I sounded
Colombian. The latter is somewhat of a compliment, as Colombia is  said to
have the "purest" accenti n the western  hemisphere.>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
The wife of a Rector of Saint Christopher's (now Christ the King) 
Episcopal Church in Frankfurt/M, Germany was a German native.
She spoke English and German with a strong lisp.
 
The couple had a long clergy assignment to Latin America, so they
both spoke fluent Spanish.  I asked someone who had known them
in Latin America about her Spanish.
 
She replied (you guessed it) the Hispanics thought she was Castilion.
