Especially amusing coming from a non-native speaker, for some reason.
(I suppose partly because learners are always expected to speak the
standard language. Hearing a Japanese person speak German with a
Bavarian accent would be similarly odd, I think, even if he learned
the language while an exchange student in Hintertupfingen or
something.)
