So I was surfing youtube, and found "American McDonalds vs Japanese McDonalds" and it lead to "Japanese McDonald commercials" to "Funny Japanese commercials"
Well not really. Half the videos titled "Japanese commercials" were not in Japanese.
People's language distinguish system is broken, or are intensionally japan-rolling.
I didn't go to Canadian school except for an year, and my French is really bad. I can't sing the national anthem in French AT ALL.
So if somthing sounds like French, but also sounds like Spanish, and I have no idea if it could be German, I don't take random guesses; "European language" does the job. (Yeah so even it were in fact English, I would still be right =P)
And as for Asian languages, I used to live in Hong Kong and I can semi-tell if someone's Cantonese or mainlander by just looking.
Cantonese/Mandarin/Japanese/Korean/Singaporean languages all have some key features, and quite frequently it shows even when they speak in English.
(I haven't had much exposure to Mongolian and Taiwanese so they're hard to tell, both appearance and language)
This is kinda off-topic, but I'm not sure if I should use the lovespoon in Canada. I don't want "WTF is this? I was expecting a ring and you give me a freaking wooden spoon?", but explaining beforehand spoils the "pop" and explaining when I'm giving breaks the mood =P
