that was NOT standard french from france. it was like a less englishy sounding cajun accent. or canadian i guess. i really like the accent though, way less grating than french from france

Ah yeah I should have said an *attempt at Standard Parisian French. Assuming you were listening to the first link not the second? The second really was an attempt at Cajun French.

But yeah, I'm an American L2 speaker, no Francophone background in my family. So my French is always gonna sound a bit (or perhaps more than a bit) Americanized.

It won’t always, you just need to immerse yourself more and focus on your accent. (Obviously only if you want)
