Raising a Truly Bilingual Child

Well, you can't literally have no accent. I think that the GP means that there is no 'tell' that the people are eastern european when they speak.

In the UK itself, it's estimated that there's a different regional accent every 25 miles or so.

Occasionally I manage to do a "Henry Higgins" and detect a main accent and sub-accent; there are a lot of hints in dialect though, like what you call a bread roll ...
