That's funny. I'm American and have always lived here but when we're in France and I speak French, everyone thinks I'm British. My teachers must have spoken French with a British accent. I assume you can tell the difference between an American and a Brit speaking French.

In the US we can tell whether someone is from NY City, Boston, Chicago, the south or Texas pretty easily. Can you tell whether someone is from the Loire, Brittany, Alsace or Provence by listening to them?
