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.
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.
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.
