Fake English?
Do you guys know how when people make fun or make fake language of what another language is? Like what it sounds like to people that have never spoken or know anything about that language?
For example chinese people speak Chinese and it sounds to people that don't speak it like. Ching chong. And the Russian and German language sound very angry. I wonder how English sounds to people that have never spoken or understand it?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DngerlyAwkwrd English to foreigners probably doesn't sound as pleasant as we think it would, unlike French which is like smearing honey on your ear drums to pretty much any culture.[/quote]I personally find french to be an ugly language.

You just reminded me of my pseudo-"epiphany" I had when I was there. It was that French spoken by men sounds perverted and lecherous and French spoken by women was incredibly soothing and delightful to your ears. At least to me, it does.

[/quote]oh. well thats not nice. thats nice at all you prick. being terrible ignorant. i've always questioned how, for example. Bonjour = hello Konnichiwa = good afternoon (or something) ect. but, hello.. meaning hello. and good afternoon meaning good afternoon. but to every other language. it not. its hello = herp good afternoon = derp confuses the -blam!- of me. [/quote]How is that ignorant? That's how it comes across to non Chinese speakers... Grow up. I was using that as a example it had nothing to do with making fun of any ethnicity.

After having a foreign language class last semester, I have been wondering the same thing; what does English sound like to non-English speakers? I can only hope I will find the answer to this question someday.

You could have written your post a little more clearly, but English is a Germanic language, so I would assume that we might sound kind of angry too, although not as much.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] rj is cool I wonder how English sounds to people that have never spoken or understand it?[/quote]I imagine it sounds exactly the same, just without any meaning or context whatsoever. Kinda like any language the listener has never heard before.

Either posh or rough or common. Depends on where you come from. Just like Americans sound very patriotic or very southern. Or bland like, no accent at all.
-
It sounds like English. They just don't know what said English means.

I've asked a a student from China that very same thing.... apparently its "sss-blam!-skkskk-blam!-ssssss-blam!-s-blam!-sssk-blam!-s" (or something similar to that) EDIT: -blam- = 3 k's in a row... wasn't aware of the strictness of the filter. [Edited on 01.03.2013 6:32 PM PST]
