And as I have posted before,

be able to tell the difference between the various English language
countries' accents (strange as it may seem to you and I).

It's worse than that. Many Americans can't tell the difference (in
accent) between English and Australian.

And many English people can't tell the difference between American and
Canadian.

Eh?
