To express this idea, the following sentence construction sprang to mind:

> 
> ***Ce n’est pas parce qu***’on est attiré par l'accent polonais ***qu***’on se met à apprendre la langue...
> 
> 
> {I mean}: L'accent polonais, ce n’est pas vraiment ce qui nous incite à apprendre la langue...
> 
> 
> 

But I wonder if this construction is ambiguous enough to give rise to two possible interpretations:

---

On one hand, if the "*ce n'est pas X que Y*" expression is intended, it will lead to the following interpretation (1):

> 
> (There are various factors that may prompt you to take up learning Polish), but their accents are not one of them...
> 
> 
> 

{... and this is exactly what I intended my French sentence to mean}

"*Ce n’est pas parce que A que B*" is interpreted as "***it's not because of A that you do B***".

---

On the other hand, if you consider the word "*pas*" to be negating the part "*qu’on se met ...*", it will lead to the other interpretation (2):

> 
> You don't (necessarily) take up learning Polish just because you find their accents appealing...
> 
> 
> 

{... here, it's taken as a given that Polish accents are appealing to you, but you'll need more incentive than that to actually commit yourself to learning Polish}

"*Ce n’est pas parce que A que B*" is interpreted as "***even if/though A is true, it doesn't mean B***".
