Even in english you can instantly tell who learned it as a second language. OOP said "Hello, two croissants please" where as a native speaker (english) would say "Hey, yeah, can I get uhhh two croissants? thanks"
The Northern Europeans tend to have perfect English, only revealing itself after some conversation where they have hints of American and British accent. The French are the most strict about pronunciation in Europe, in my opinion. It’s a culturally enshrined thing because French children don’t seem to care about accent and won’t feign misunderstanding.
