Hayden, I was gonna call you a "goofball," then I saw your mood: Goofy
Anyway... My suite mate sophomore year of college was a Japanese student (not exchange--she was all four years), and she taught me a few words of Japanese. When the other Japanese girls heard me speak those few words with near-perfect accent, they went nuts. And, again, that was just a few words!
Even more interesting to me is that half of my new neighborhood is Mexican (no, not just Hispanic, but actually Mexican). That is one of the few accents laid back enough I can understand in Spanish. My Spanish is really crappy, but the kids go happy-nuts when the new white lady on the block fumbles through. They try to help, bless them! ;-)
I don't know. Maybe there's something to seeing someone you just don't expect to be able to speak your language able to speak it. Weird. LOL
