Influences on accent: "softer sounds" in Ukrainian (western part of Ukraine). Doesn't have strong Ukrainian accent, but stronger the longer she thinks on a topic. Picking up from English, trying to do sounds clearer from other English speakers because she wants to improve accent. Doesn't want to get rid of original accent.
