Okay, I've had an inclination to look into this topic a little more, and apparently when you're a student, picking up any pronunciation other than the one repsented by the official German dictionary Duden, would be considered wrong by many native speakers (pedants, as far as I'm concerned)... So maybe you won't be learning an "accent" after all.
I mean I could pick up a slight accent, who knows. When I count in Spanish (I can only count to 10), I seem to pick up a very, very slight accent (though not necessarily a Mexican or Spanish accent, just an accent).
