  In Ukrainian, we would have even one more comma in this text: after “identify”.

        I’ve found it interesting how people who learned English as a second language tend to use sentence structures and patterns associated with their first language. What are the ways to tell if a German speaker is obviously American or has learned English first, if you know them?

        My favourite German word can be used now, although probably spelled incorrectly and missing accents. Your comma usage is verbesserungsbederftig.
