Finnish: (my first, heritage language) Had the right set of phonemes and the right pace of speech, but no discernible meaning. It confounded me and would have irritated me had it been longer.
English: (my second, dominant language) See above.
And for languages with which I only have a passing familiarity...
Swedish, Estonian, French: Pretty convincing.
Portuguese: A bit off the mark. Sounded almost like Italian.
Japanese: Only sort-of convincing.
Spanish (Castilian): Her stress placement seemed a little off but most of the vowels were good. Sort of an Americanized version.
