Narrative:

After we cleared runway 9R on taxiway Y10 and received taxi instructions and clarification at taxiway K5, we were informed we had caused an aircraft to go around. (After our landing an aircraft had been cleared into position.) we felt that we had taken taxiway Y10 in a safe and expeditious manner and that at the intersection of taxiway K5 we were clear. We are not sure if taxiing too slow, stopping at taxiway K5, or turning onto taxiway K5 caused the ground controller's statement. If turning on taxiway K5 was the cause, contributing factors would be: my first time to cdg; difficulty in understanding communications because of accent; fatigue from all night oceanic crossing. Our airline has had numerous bulletins regarding exiting the runway after landing.
