@@trevorcarlson6134 I only learn Japanese so maybe there's a bit of a cultural difference, but "foreigner" usually has a bit of a different connotation in those languages. A good rule of thumb is basically anybody outside of a language's country of origin, so in this case, China. It has a bit of nuisance that's hard to put into words, but it's kind of another way to say "American" or just anybody in general whose not Chinese in one word

Despite that, you can clearly understand what is being said in this sentence if you speak English. But you don't speak Dutch.

You inspired me to try to say “thank you “ in Fuzhounese at dinner tonight to the server and she was very surprised! She says that in this town it is rare someone can recognise the sound of it, let alone try to say a few words in it. I am in Southern Indiana and people here do not usually make an effort to try to understand and say a few words in any foreign language other than Spanish. Thank you for the inspiration! I grew up in Hawai’i and Southern California, so can recognise the sound of Mandarin and Cantonese, but I know nearly nothing; my education and experience has been with Japanese, so this is kinda neat. :)

I do this all the time. I memorize a small number of phrases, but my pronunciation is so perfect, that natives assume that I know far more than I actually know. It doesn’t matter how exotic the language. Some people have a talent for imitating sounds, like bird sounds, for example. The same applies to human speech.
