I have a good friend who hails from the Czech Republic. She has lived in Germany for a few years and has very good German, though she still has a very noticeable accent as well.
Once, my friend was washing her hands in the bathroom of a restaurant. A very young German child, maybe four or five years of age at most, was also there next to her. After they happened to exchange a few words, the child looks at her and says with genuine confusion, "Why are you talking that way?"
Meaning, of course, her accent.
I find this cute and intriguing, and it makes me smile a little to think about it.
