> but a non-native speaker who has learned French as spoken in Paris will more than likely not understand a native French speaker from Québec or Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). So I don't think this problem is specific to English.
That's true but French is kind on an exception among latin languages, it is a phonetically complex language compared to Italian or Spanish.
