Howdy, my name is Rawhide Kobayashi. I’m a 27 year old Japanese Japamerican (western culture fan for you foreigners). I brand and wrangle cattle on my ranch, and spend my days perfecting the craft and enjoying superior American passtimes. (Barbeque, Rodeo, Fireworks) I train with my branding iron every day, this superior weapon can permanently leave my ranch emblem on a cattle’s hide because it is white-hot, and is vastly superior to any other method of livestock marking. I earned my branding license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak English fluently, both Texas and Oklahoma dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their cowboy code, which I follow 100% When I get my American visa, I am moving to Dallas to work in an oil field to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a cattle wrangler for the Double Cross Ranch or an oil rig operator for Exxon-Mobil! I own several cowboy hats, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I rebel against my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in America!

There was a stand up act about a guy who was learning German, and decided to listen to German speeches as he slept to help him absorb the language quicker. You can probably guess how that can backfire.

I'm an american who lives in colombia. I learned spanish here. The locals like it because I'm the only gringo they know that doesn't speak like a mexican or a spaniard. The bad thing is all my friends are street kids basically and I learned how to talk from them and watching gangster novellas. Needless to say my slang is a bit like the OP in the meme. I've gotten a few colombians to laugh instead of be frustrated or mad at me for my language because I dropped a phrase that they don't usually hear from gringos.

My father learned Norwegian from my mother. Trouble is that she speaks a super rural dialect. When he had business partners from Norway over he tried talking to them but they couldn't understand a word he was saying.

Luckily my mother isn't Danish.

You mean like how Butcher from "the boys" sounds like a kiwi mimicking all the accents from a Guy Ritchie movie at the same time.

There's a guy on TikTok that has really funny experience to share because he learned japanese when he was living in basically a crack house with japanese thugs and he has a great japanese accent but it's basically the hillbilly accent

"We only got old gangster movies, see? My dad, the old fink, didn't have two pennies to rub together see? Me and my buddy got nipped yanking some movie films from the local five and dime, he sang like a bird, so here I am up the river in sing-sing."

The race guys from better off dead who learned English by watching Howard cosell

There's a young Russian virtuoso guitarist online who speaks English with a brummie accent.

I want to say this was a joke in the 80s or 90s where immigrants would learn English from the likes of watching John Wayne movies.

Though, as an aside, I would love to meet more non-native English speakers who learned English by watching the likes of Pauline Shore.

All the british invasion bands of the 60s who sung as if they were from tenessee because they learned music from old 50s rock and roll records

I think it's how you refer to yourself, but it's been a while since I learned. Like there's three or four versions of "I", watashi, watakushi (very polite), and I forget the other two but one is extremely informal and possibly makes you sound like a delinquent.

Edit: ore and boku, can't remember which is the informal one, somebody who knows more step in and add some extra context please.

Someone who learned Russian from movies about organized crime would speak a distinct dialect. Speaking that way to either law-abiding people or actual criminals would probably be a bad idea. Is Japanese like that too?

I knew a guy from Guinea Bissau and they learnt English by watching the Tweenies.

Reminds me of the Japanese students in Better Off Dead who learned English from watching Howard Cosell on the Wide World Of Sports.
