I know for a fact that as a child, it was Russian. Now it’s kind of odd. Most of the time, I do have an American accent but have a mix of English too.
Example: I tend to pronounce my “r”’s like an Englishman. When I say “I don’t care/I don’t mind”, something like that, it’s English. I also pronounce words like “bath” or “grass” like an American would.
I love hearing that there is a singular American accent when every place I visit in the US has a different accent, some of which are a struggle to understand.
american with english influence
Even if we knew exactly how you are pronouncing what you wrote, we still don’t know your intonation, which is massive when it comes to accents.
Mine is a mess. My native language is Spanish but nobody ever guesses it right. I work in a customer service role and people often ask me where is my accent from. When they dare risk a guess, they usually ask if it’s French, Russian or Irish. Yes- Irish! Conversely, I deal with lots of tourists as well and the French, Russian and Irish accents couldn’t sound any more different from each other so I don’t know what that means about mine. Spanish accent is typically very easy to recognize so whatever mine is, it sounds nothing like it.

A Mid-Atlantic accent?
