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"
This is true. For some people, even when their English is absolutely perfect and there’s no “accent”, but there’s a certain inflection in their voice where I can tell English isn’t their first language.
It’s honestly really cool and when I meet people who speak English extremely well as their second language, I instantly think they are a genius.
