I can't say anything.  Being a native speaker, it's what I know.

That reminds me of the movie "Better Off Dead" (has John Cusack and David 
Ogden Stiers in it, great 80s movie).  There's two Japanese students in high 
school and one talks just like Howard Cossell because he watches "Wide World 
Of Sports".  It's hilarious.

Later,
Sean
