    Thanks! Let me ask for one more detail: if this woman while talking with her accent have to say "sucker" - will it sound exactly like she had said in the video or will there be difference?

    For the most part, similar, except the way she said it in the video doesn't give each syllable the same lengths that the word sucker would have.

    Usually the accents have a subtle cascade effect. For example, her e in secretary might sound a bit more like a "standard accent" u in sucker, whilst the u in sucker, for her, would move as well, getting dropped lower or maybe given more emphasis. All depends.
