Yea, I came from croatia ro California when I was 18, about 20 years ago. I actually grew up on the north coast of Croatia, just 60KM from italian border... so I sort of know a few words italian. There was a large italian minority where I lived, and we visited Italy often (good shopping).
I don't have any italian in me, that I know of, it's all mediterranean (actually Adriatic) areas of Croatia.
My accent is mix of a few Slavic sounds, British English (since that's first english I learned) and Ameriacan English. Most often people hear it but can't place it :), but I'm told it's not a very strong accent.
