A dialect can be described as an offshoot of a language, that has its own unique differences in pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary (most often, a dialect would differ all three).
An accent is a deviation from what is considered to be the standard in pronunciation only. Unlike a dialect, which is spoken by a group of people, an accent may be individual in nature, such as a foreign language that is the result of the speaker's inability to pronounce the language he is learning correctly. An accent can also be standard in itself when it is a part of an established dialect of the language.
