    I am afraid that with exception of Russian and Polish accents, the most of the forum members are not familiar with accents of Slavic speakers.
    Perhaps it will be better to show examples?
    Here is a Czech (Dominik Hašek) speaking English , I think that it is good example how my and older generation speaks English:

    North American english is pretty literal unless it's texas or nyc type area. It's brits that swallow vowels (and consonants especially). Only in britain is "water bottle" pronounced "wo'oh bo'oh"
