Prisencolinensinainciusol - how English might sound to non-English speakers - General

OLL RAIGTH caps

I love the video. Super cool dance moves.

I always wondered, when people have thoughts, do they think in their language?

At one point I heard "I'm jizzing off a golfball man" :wtc: [editline]10:47PM[/editline] He says it at 2:00

We need a gif of his dancing. Anyone?

[QUOTE=pokeman;18000250]This doesn't make sense, we sound exactly the same to people who don't speak english. It's just that they don't know what the words mean. I guess this video is just for those people who can't understand that. Still cool though. [B]EDIT:[/B]But that's not the purpose of this video, I guess if you didn't speak it you probably wouldn't be able to tell this apart from real english though.[/QUOTE] I gave you a nice box to go in.

This is so cool. My own language, me not understanding.

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;18000678]That's fucking awesome. Where can I get the .mp3?[/QUOTE] [url=http://www.vidtomp3.com/]Use this site.[/url]

God I keep trying to form words out of it

:psyboom:

[QUOTE=dragon1972;18000120]I've always wondered what we sound like to foreign people.[/QUOTE] Sometimes while I'm sitting on the bus heading to class I listen to people talking and imagine I have no idea what the words mean and just let the sounds mesh together in my head in odd ways until I barely recognize what they're saying anymore.

God, I hate it when I'm sitting on the bus and two girls are yapping as loud as they can in Japanese.

That's pretty cool. They should try it with English rap, because German rap sounds... odd.

As much as I'm trying to make up words out of this, I find the tune to be catchy!

A while ago, I gave the song to my mother and then to my grandfather and asked them to translate it. My mother had started learning english one year before that. My grandfather knew only some words. It was really fun to watch them trying to make some sense out of it.

This is pretty much exactly how I heard english when listening to radio when I was a kid.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;18002381]I always wondered, when people have thoughts, do they think in their language?[/QUOTE] Not necessarily. At least not for me. And believe me, suddenly thinking in one language while talking in another is one of the most annoying things that can happen in a middle of a sentence. Or when I can think of the english word for something but not my native one and vice versa, christ that's irritating Or when you start to think about how can you understand the words without translating them, everything becomes a mess since you can start confusing different words and meanings. It's like making a pizza in a bowl with a mixer It really can't be explained without elaborate cooking incidents that are extremely unlikely to actually happen

It's like when you're watching something in english and someone asks you to translate it and you can understand it all fine, but you can't find the right words in your native language to translate it. I also think in english most of the time, even though english isn't my native language. I guess it's just liking english more than your native language.

Awesome!

Whenever we're doing listening tests in school for languages, I always do shit because I can't tell where one word ends and another begins. That's what I always assumed foreign people thought I sounded like.

Yay always wanted to know, is awsome!!

It sounds like english but.. I can't understand it!

That's pretty much the point where you know you can speak English, it slowly becomes your first language. [QUOTE=varj;18006259]It sounds like english but..

[img]http://i34.tinypic.com/30u3ghz.jpg[/img] Was it just me who thought that he looked like the medic? more on topic, that's just awesome. Though, when the one girl in the classroom stood up and talked, to me it sounded like they had suddenly changed into German or something.

It would be awesome if they did this with the German language.

Well, reflecting upon my own language, German probably sounds like Rakchtser ekrat schifs dar zuhir... Imagining this is so absolutely hard, i think i just lost some brain cells.

Oh god, I think my English is melt- Черт возьми, как это случилось? Oh бог что.

Reminds me of this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNQLmHKlmiE&feature=related[/media] Ken lee tulibu dibu douchoo!
