I speak in a West Nashvillian accent. Not quite Belle Meade, since I live 20 miles further west, but the accent of those in their 20s and 30s who grew up in the Greater Nashville Metropolitan Area is apparently distinct. I had a doctor comment it on it once when I was living in Florida. She said it wasn't a "Southern" accent per se that I had, but she had known some from Nashville and we all apparently placed a flat tone on the end of certain words, like -ville. Others who aren't familiar with that accent (and there are many in the Nashville area, due to all sorts of people migrating in from both Tennessee, other Southern states, and the Upper Midwest) have said that I sound like a cross between a Michigan native and a Southerner (due to my "R" pronunciations from time to time).
That was very detailed. It was interesting, although no one I know from Tennessee reminds me of Michigan.

I pronounce interesting as either (EYE-ther, although that's uncommon for the region) "in-TRA-sting" or "in-tuh-REST-ing" depending on my mood or the context. Always pronounce the -ing though.
Well, as a Midwesterner I usually say "IN-tresting"

I speak Spanish like a Colombian when I remember the words correctly.
I speak like a Catalunian, generally.

Not only do I recognize accents in English, but I also recognize Spanish accents. I happen to prefer Colombian/Venezuelan accents best, because those are slower and more distinct for me. Cubans chop off the ends of words and run them together. Mexicans have a slight -h- slur to some of their words, and Argentians and Uruguayans are almost incomprehensible. "plasha" instead of "playa" indeed!
Argentines just speak more like Spaniards...part of that uppityness they inherited.
