People usualy don't pay attention on ch, sh, zh and j but from these sounds accent usually comes from. For instance slavs will make those sounds too hard, spaniards too soft. I understand that vowels are the most important thing when working your accent but from these sounds i can hear an accent in people that can speak almost indistinguishable from a a native.
