distinctive manner of oral expression.
Every so often people will comment on how slight my accent is, and I'll usually go "what accent?" because of course I think the way I speak is perfectly and entirely normal. (Because, as my cat would say, Ich bin Amerikaner.)
But I have noticed one pair of sounds that I can't seem to make correctly and unambiguously: Alan vs. Ellen. Do you pronounce those differently? Apparently I don't, and they don't sound different to me either. This causes occasional confusion!
