(Also I understand German fine but I don't have enough occasions to speak it, it's so rusty the words just won't come out of my mouth).

Despite growing up within half an hour of the city, I have almost no accent whatsoever. Like, to the extent that I've been called a liar for saying I grew up near Boston. It's probably the thing I'm second most thankful to my parents for, with the first being their DNA.
I used to be (barely) conversational in French, but now I could probably only fake an accent after a couple drinks. NATO bases are tops for keeping your language skills sharp. YMMV. My current project is Norwegian, but I should probably just be fixing my French.
