I was raised on "france french" and I can't understand Quebecois/Jouale worth a damn. Louisiana French is weird too, but I can match it up in my head with how an American would pronounce a French word and it fits.

Most of the time, if an ESL speaker is putting on an American accent, even if they're doing a good job of it, they inevitably fuck up by using words or phrases Americans wouldn't use. Like "will I" for "shall I", that sort of thing, and that's a dead giveaway, no matter how good an imitation of an accent they're doing.

And some spoken Japanese I can follow, while I can't others...I think it's either a speed or accent thing.
