Have you ever made fun of a Chinese accent by going "Ching chong ching!" Or an Arabic accent going "Durka Durka Mohammed jihad!"
Well, this is what it sounds like when they do the same!
Some funny replies: "I can understand him better than Biden!"
"This guy just sold me a Ford F150!"

I grew up in Hialeah and we had a heavy Cuban population. When I hung out with my cuban friends they enjoyed my speaking in Spanish. They actually found it extremely funny, so I asked them why. They explained while my Spanish was quite good, they just never heard Spanish spoken in redneck.

I’m not convinced.
When I lived in France for a year, someone asked me if some tourists were speaking English. They were not. They were speaking German. The French woman could not tell the difference.
I think that listening to Dutch would give a pretty good idea of what English sounds like to a non-speaker, also. Dutch is the closest to English of any language.

Dutch is the closest to English of any language.I was speaking with a Dutchman and every now and then, his Dutch accent sounded like a New York accent. It occurred to me that this may be where New Yorkers developed their unique accent. From when the city was New Amsterdam.
