I have learned from experience that it is wiser to say 'Are you from Canada?' first.
The accent may be a little easier for me, I'm not sure.
A very nice looking American came up to me and said 'Where is Wahlrutz?' I asked him to repeat it twice and eventually understood him to mean Woolworths.
We don't use consonants here, which must be a problem in reverse.
