Why the post? I always wondered and I wondered again as a result of the last three months. I have been the only native English speaker in a group of eight students each working on significant sized research reports. For example, I cannot imagine going to other country and writing an academic research report in that language in only three months. That's what these people have done and they never complained or pulled out the old argument that 'it wasn't fair'. They just got stuck in and kept at it, took the feedback from the supervisor and kept going. That sort of perseverance in the face of these sorts of challenges is amazing to see. We had to give presentations and there was a lot of thought and effort put into those presentations.
As for what English may sound like, here are some examples.
Here's one version from 1974
Here's another (slightly less entertaining attempt) from 2011
