I was told my pronunciation was fine but what gave me away as an American was how long I took to say bonjour.

    Normally, at about 10 feet away I try to make eye contact and smile/nod during approach, then I'll verbally greet at about 5 feet away.

    This was something I learned while working at a resort and it stuck with me. By American standards, this is considered fast and early.
