You have a day to source some clothing appropriate to the time period. Unfortunately, that’s not enough time to learn a dialect.

For real shits and giggles:
You get dropped exactly where you are now, just 500 years ago. All the European descended people not living in Europe are (very likely) in for a bad time.
Probably not a bad time in the places that had never seen them. It’s only the people who they’d already been dicks to by 1523 that you’d need to worry about.
I actually looked this one up, there was no settlement of any kind right on this spot, so I’d have time to sort myself out before approaching a settlement a few days’ journey.
Ya, that’s why I worded it that way. I wouldn’t survive a week landing in midwest North America in 1523. Assuming civilization somehow continues for 500 more years, you would attract much less attention in scenario 2.
I’m in western Appalachia. There were no human settlements here but I might run into a group of hunters. I feel like I’m pretty decent in nature. I’ve been hunting, hiking, and camping in this area my whole life. With no modern equipment I give myself about a week. Most likely cause of death: Snakebite or eaten by wolves.
