Same

dialects 1. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics 2. Singaporean 3. American (Standard)

This is really off! My english is a mix between various London accents. However, since I often hang out with foreigners, I may be more acceptant of sentences with weird grammar. That would explain the Ebonics.

native language 1. Italian 2. Chinese 3. Dutch

Although I hangout with Chinese people, I don't speak any of those languages. Plus, it would be good for a language study test to differentiate Cantonese, Mandarin...

The model doesn't do a good job of telling apart the various Chinese languages (yet), so we aren't including that distinction in the feedback (yet).
I just took the test a second time, and I'm getting the exact same results, appart from my native languages which changed to: 1. Italian 2. Dutch 3. English

Well, that must be it.

Good point: "I may be more acceptant of sentences with weird grammar."
