Prisencolinensinainciusol - how English might sound to non-English speakers
138 replies, posted
This was a really useful video, I've always wondered what we sound like to people that can't speak English.
cool actually sounds english
I suddenly feel like a foreigner with only a small grasp of English, ala: I only know a few words.
IM pretty sure I heard "i get drunk to talk to pretty girls"
That is quite eye opening.

cut out the bottom part with the logo, it'll make it better
I would love to see the medic doing that act, his coat is even similar to the guy's long coat
That's absolutely brilliant.
As a non-English person I can affirm that English sounded very much like that before I actually learned it. The real words make absolutely no difference to the persons who don't understand a single thing in English, by that I mean that if a foreign person hears an English person say "Apple" for instance, it would certainly sound "Apple" to the ear, but he/she would perceive it as the pure pronunciation form without understanding it... or just hearing the letters of the word put together without making sense, or just some gibberish stuff, and that's the point.
It's tough to explain, but easy to understand, I mean it's as if an English person would hear a German and doesn't understand a thing... well, if some guy would make a song like that but in German, for the Germans, with the accent but with no actual real understandable words, it would help the Germans really understand how every persons who don't understand their language sound to them, we just get their "accent" and we don't get anything else. It's absolutely fascinating, I'm sure my English teacher back then would have liked to use that even just for entertainment, that thing sure plays with your mind, it's great.
And the principle is very similar to the one with written language and how understandable it is for the brain. For instance you can type the words you know well with all the letters mixed up in it except for the first and the last letters, and when reading you would STILL read it properly in your mind, while on paper it doesn't make any sense anymore. It's a question of perception, one is a perception to the ear, the other is to the eye.
This song is so catchy that I wanted to start singing along.

I tried converting the gibberish to lyrics, but I pretty much died after finishing the first sentence spoken :saddowns:

eighties funkAY version hlell yess
the older one sounded a lot more modern than the 80's one
Definately makes me like my language more. I thought we sounded boring, well this is a neat concept :)
Very interesting.
This song is pretty badass for not having any actual words
If only the song made sense...

That would defeat the whole purpose of the song. I believe what you meant to say was you wanted the dancing with another song that made sense.
