Hey, I thought this was very well interviewed - thanks Pearse.
Also, I believe I've heard Frank Rose advocate commitment to immersion (pulling from his experience working in England, France and other European spots as an American). In other words, even if your wife laughs at you for sounding South Africa or if the congregation can tell that your Australian brogue is not quite perfect, it is still worth it. If you do it genuinely, it communicates interest, attention and appreciation of the foreign culture. After 5 months in Canada my Torontonian accent is near perfect. :)
