Inspired by this thread I tried mimicking the female French speaker on 101 Languages. Eventually I could guess exactly what she would sound like before I clicked the button to hear it. Basically do the Clouseau thing except trying to mimic this woman instead of a stereotype...

Except that as a non-native speaker, the fact that we think we got it right is not very reliable.

True, but it's better than nothing, or a guess based on a stereotype. I definitely found problems in my current pronunciations.
