... no? I don't think so, anyway?
Strange question, but: Is it really that unusual for an American to be able to distinguish between English spoken with an English, Australian, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, German, French, or Finnish accent?

Only one that I have trouble distinguishing is Irish and Scottish accents. I've never heard a Finnish accent though so idk.

You’ll spot those quickly once you’ve heard one that’s a tad pronounced.

I think it depends on their amount of exposure. As a child, I'd probably have trouble distinguishing between a few of those but as I've gotten older (and literally traveled portions of world,) it's gotten alot easier.

I wouldn't trust myself to distinguish nordic accents from one another.

Yeah, you'll note that I omitted Swedish/Norwegian/Danish. I can generally place Swedish versus Norwegian/Danish, but the latter two sound nearly identical to me, in that they have the same audible structure as Swedish but different enough phonemes to know they're not it.

Not generally, but lack of familiarity can make certain accents difficult to distinguish. Also, when I travelled in Europe, some people I met had an accent closer to that of someone they learned a lot of English from; met a couple Dutch furs who sounded British, etc.
-
Once I got to know them I could usually notice bits of the local accent when they pronounced certain things, but that took some time and familiarity.

Well it's pretty easy to do that, at least for me I think; it might be somewhat unusual in general for an American to be able to do that because they probably mostly just hear English spoken by American people?
