Do you have a strong regional accent?

I have a really strong accent. It's a mixture of Rhode Island and Boston. I drop my r's but I don't pronounce cot and caught the same way. A RI accent sounds a bit like a NY (Brooklyn) type accent. Anyway it is thick and I have never been able to lose it. I have lived in Montreal for 12 years and it is as thick as it ever was. It makes my French almost incomprehensible. Not that it is very good anyway. But the accent made me stop trying to speak French. I wish I didn't have an accent. My wife loves it though, so that's something.
