I thought I might share a small phonetic game/challenge with you. All 3 individuals in the attached clips were born and raised in the same non-Anglophone country and speak the same native language. Can you tell, based on the peculiarities of their English pronunciation, what language it is?

If I only listened to the first one, that Matt guy sounded rather Dutch from his first words alone. The two ladies have artificial accents but I can't tell where they could come from.
