Two young action movie actors, Tom Holland and George Lazenby, both at 29 in their respective photos. Or: a 2020s man of action vs. a 1960s man of action.

The following clips feature two Polish women, one of whom was born and raised in the US. Can you tell, based on their language and speech patterns, which one it is?

I'm asking this because I'm wondering whether you would be able to distinguish easily between an English native speaker raised by first-generation immigrants and a fluent ESL, even if you have no familarity with the typical giveaways of the second language involved.

The following clips feature two Polish women, one of whom was born and raised in the US and moved to her ancestral homeland after college, effectively becoming an American expat. I was wondering if, based on their language or other distinctive features, you could guess which one it is?

  2. https://www.reddit.com/r/language/comments/1suizh1/how_would_you_characterize_her_pronunciation_can/

I'm just wondering whether, based on your experience, you would say that you can reliably distinguish between an American expat born to first-generation immigrants and a non-American highly fluent in English.

W poniższych klipach występują dwie Polki, z których obie są obecnie Warszawiankami, ale jedna urodziła się i wychowała w USA. Czy potraficie rozpoznać - na podstawie języka lub innych zwracających uwagę cech - która to z nich?

Does this girl sound to you like a typical American, or can you hear anything unusual in her speech that caught your attention?

George Lazenby at 29. If he time travelled from 1968 to 2026, he would be a biological peer of zillennials as of today. And yet I have a feeling that the majority of zillennials would call him „sir” rather than „buddy”.
