The Perfect American Accent

I had a man tell me today at the judo competition that I have a perfect American accent. I think he thought I was French when I was translating for him.
The judo competition needed me less today, so I spent a large portion of my nine hours with Somaya and two of her friends, Justine and Imanne. At one point, they tried to teach me to speak Ch'timi, the local patois. S becomes ch, ch becomes qu, and every phrase ends with, "hein."
