I learned French in Brussels. Parisians and Quebecois all wrinkle their brows in discomfort at an American accented Bruxelloise.
Enough that I've had someone drop into English to demand "WHERE did you learn French? In *Brussels*?!"
It's like learning English in the Bronx, I guess.
@McPatrick Hahaha, this is fantastic information. It reminds me of my uncle, who learned German informally from friends and work associates there who speak primarily regional dialect. He has been told he speaks "truck driver German"
