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

because the 80s were essentially the dark ages of the last 50 years

Depending on the language the other person speaks, they might understand more. Since most languages are derived from a base and many share the same base. It's like English and French. [editline]01:42PM[/editline] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriano_Celentano[/url] Also this.

this song is actually pretty kickass. I should put this on my ipod and make people listen to it and confuse them.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;18001140]My favorite part.[/QUOTE] Looks like my latin teacher.

This is incredible. I am not native English speaker, and this sounds EXACTLY like English to me, I just can't catch up with the exact meaning of words. I recognize it as English, it just does not compute. It's like if you heard somebody talking in language you know and you just forget what all the words mean. This guy was genius.

It's a Germanic language, and even though many of its words resemble Latin, not that many are directly loaned from it.

That vid is only a little bit less understandable than most music from the 70's.

I can't believe it's not english! Rehersal must have been hell if they didn't do a fuckton of cuts.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;18002381]I always wondered, when people have thoughts, do they think in their language?[/QUOTE] I'm natively Dutch for the first 9 years of my life, though I'm becoming to think more and more in English now. What I find fascinating is that language is not something you have to convert back to your own language to understand. I mean you don't have to go "car" -> (car in another language) -> understanding It goes straight to the understanding.

We sound like douches. Yeah to the above. I've been learning German for a while and I went spastic when I realised I wasn't converting words into english meanings, my mind just knew what it meant.

[QUOTE=Perfumly;18000962]Whoa do we look that cool dancing to foreigners too?[/QUOTE] Avatar goes quite great with this song. This singer does a very good job in selling his lyrics. It really does sound like English despite being gibberish. I think it's his execution is what makes us believe it's English.

Kind of reminds me of Scatman, if you're a foreigner before you learned English did you hear Scatman, if I was a foreigner and didn't know a lot of English then heard Scatman my brain would probably melt.

my little cousin said its english but he can't speak english :D
