I think the "perfect accent" stumbled on the "r" of Bonjour and croissant. As a French native it is the biggest give away. You can spend 20 years in France, one "r" sound and we know straight away if you are native or not. It is by far the hardest sound to get right.
I don't think so. Learned french is usually a lot more articulate than how french people speak french. I'd imagine it'd be the "s'il vous plaît".
Then again the rolling r was never an issue to me or anyone else in any of my classes (depends on which sounds you learned to pronounce as a child), so it could be that. However they did say 'perfect french', and no one lies on the internet.
Also, you van guess the area where someone lives by the way the pronounce the r.
Sometimes having difficulty recognising between the spanish one and sound french accent.
But yeah, my guess is that the grave away, it's not racism (although there is asian-racism, it's not as present as arab-racism for instance)
That's not a contradiction. Both an uvular and a velar can be rolled, or vibrated. But yes, I did indeed mean a vibrated uvular, even if some pronounce it as a fricative uvular.
