In this study we investigate whether non-native speakers using a speech recognition system would benefit fro mphone models of their own native language. For Dutch as the target recognition language, we foudn that American speakers do not in general benefit from American English models when speaking Dutch. However, using a CVC test methodology, we can conclude that for a certain level of proficiency, and for certain phones, there is a small beneficial effect of using American acoustic mdoels for American non-native speakers of Dutch.
