Yes. If you are pronouncing the sounds of any language correctly, you are speaking that language with its proper accent. I know of at least half a dozen ways to pronounce "R", for example. If you use the wrong one in a particular language, you're speaking that languge with a foreign accent. An accent is the sum total of proper pronunciation and proper intonation. In other languages than ours, voices rise and fall, get louder and softer at different places than ours do, even when the translation is word-for-word. Moral of the story: You've gotta be REALLY talented to be a spook.

I never used to think so until I went to Scotland in the summer and people there were telling me that I talked with an accent.

Although it might not be the accent you're supposed to have. I was born in Scotland and lived here til the age of ten then moved to Greece. Ten years in Scotland, ten years in Greece, now been back in Scotland for 3. I am bilingual in English and Greek I don't sound Scottish or Greek! I get loads of really random guesses as to my nationality!

Yes and no. Everyone has an accent, however it's not perceived by others who are use to it and have adopted it themselves.
