Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much.
Reason I asked is I started listening (on a B2-C1 level) online to a guy from Switzerland. Of course, I cannot hear any difference in his french speech. And yet I was wondering if I was going to learn some bad french pronunciation :) (just kidding). I like this guy a lot.
Merci beaucoup !
