You will laugh but the first time he saw me he thought that I was English.
In fact, when he thought "English", he thought "people from Great Britain/British Island" like many people. It was surely due to my looks, my pale/pinky skin.

After some days, he called me the "nordique", he thought I was a "ch'ti" because my accent sounds like the dialect of the north of France and frenchized Flanders. I speak very quickly and I clip the word endings. My temperament also is different, more reserved.
