Excuse me for being from the South, but I pronounce the 'a' in
"accent" differently from the one in "around". The first is a
low back vowel and the second is a schwa. Also, I pronounce the
'e' in "essential" as a high front vowel when I am stressing
the word (which is not often, but enough to be confused by your
example).

In retrospect, it doesn't really matter to me how sake is pronounced,
since I don't like salmon or wine of any kind.
