Besides the people who will respond with something like, "I don't know.. I've never heard an american attempting to speak my language.."
I am an american, and I can read and write numerous languages. I just have a slight fear that my speech in these languages is unintelligable, or that my american accent is too thick. It's probably just paranoia..
Honestly, though, if you heard an american (who was somewhat fluent) speaking to you in your language, what would you think? I know this question may be difficult to answer, as other variables may need to be considered. But in general, would you consider the american accent to be (insert word here- example: harsh, pleasant, etc.)?
Thank you.
