It’s as close as some English speakers can get. Some people can’t make foreign sounds. The ‘sant’ ‘sont’ ending is not right either, its more like a sohn ending with imperceptible nasal n. But again have you heard people to to speak a foreign language, it usually sounds terrible.
That makes zero sense.
The examples of English pronounciations she gives there are truly bizarre.

What country are you from and what language do you speak?
