Here's a cool site with audio samples of the many accents of English-speaking people from around the world, the majority of whom are not native English speakers.

The site's main page is here: http://accent.gmu.edu/

Browse by specific language: http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_language.php

Examples:

A female speaker from South Africa: http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_language.php?function=detail&speakerid=1

A male native English speaker from York (U.K.): http://accent.gmu.edu/searchsaa.php?function=detail&speakerid=516

A female speaker from Thailand: http://accent.gmu.edu/browse_language.php?function=detail&speakerid=448

A male native English speaker from Windsor (Canada): http://accent.gmu.edu/searchsaa.php?function=detail&speakerid=407

Very neat. This is getting used in my applied phonetics and phonology class next term.
