I think you have to live or have been in those countries that don īt speak English as a first language and the Canadian accent is the same as many places in the USA.
But it was entertaining.

I thought the NZ girl sounded Australian as well.
Entertaining, but I think it would be more useful if they had either limited the test to English-speaking countries or given fewer option for non-English speaking countries (FCOL who knows the difference between an Austrian, Swiss or Lithuanian accent - does it even exist?).

Well, Philip, since two different versions of German are spoken in Austria and Switzerland, and a totally different and unrelated language is spoken in Lithuania, I would say that there are definite differences (not that I could tell which is which, of course). Bruce |

This was verrry difficult.
And yes, The NZ girl did sound Aussie but the accents are so very much alike. The NZ clues were in her last sentences: īguess � and īfrom � which she prounounced differently to what we do.
I am going to send this to my colleagues to try
Cheers
