Êtes-vous américain, monsieur?

[pne]

I just saw a guy and a girl talking in what sounded like Croatian... and the guy sounded so American to me!

It sounded so weird to me to hear someone speaking fluent Foreign... with an American accent.

I guess it just sounds a little incongruous to me. But more power to him if that was indeed the case! Learning another language is always cool, especially if you can carry on a fluent conversation and be understood, never mind having an accent.

...and the posting via SMS didn't work since my phone split up the message into multiple segments, only one of which got posted. Will fix now.

*snicker*

I got a lot of this in Altena. For the first couple months, anyway. By the time I got back home, I had acquired a German accent (which still manifests from time to time, especially if I've been reading auf Deutsch) without even noticing.

Hi! I think knowing more than one language is fun, and can be useful. I think it's cool that you know some Serbian!

I only know a few words, such as Zdravo and Hvala, so you know more than I do :)
