- senko 4y agoI believe this is true for most languages. I've had the same happen (and then stop happening, to my delight) to me with English (non-native speaker with fairly strong Eastern European accent).

- wccrawford 4y agoI can just barely hear that there's something wrong with his accent on the first 2 examples... But I'm not good enough to point out what it is. It sounds like he's slurring some of it or something. He definitely speaks more fluidly on the last one, too. Thanks for that! I hadn't heard of Dogen before.
