What American English sounds like to non-English speakers

#1
I have to admit I found this completely by accident.

I do speak a couple of languages, French, some kitchen Russian, Ukrainian( now known as bad Ukrainain with russian verbs ) and some Fin.
When you speak a language badly your become blind to a lot of it. Speak a language well and sopmetimes your ear is tuned enough to tell where someone grew up and lived in their formative years.

Anyhow:
Speak dam good yankee and although I think this is gibrish its still cool to listen too.....

I couldn't make any of it out, but then I can barley speak my own language. :shrug: The singer sure is a goofy looking fellow, with a face only a mother could love.

I just got off the phone with my partner from work ( we work in pairs nothing gay lol ).

He speaks good Itallian.

W...T... .F.... what is that he says lol

All I know is I got to learn the giberish to this so I can sing it at work and get some light duty because they think I lost my marbles or had a stroke.

dont go to all that trouble, they probably think that now:laugh:
I'm looking for an early pension.

tried the hide in a 45 gallon drum with a broom stick,
pop up and say bang when the boss walks by,
give him shit for not playing along and falling down.....

This is not a joke though.
I am going deaf.

Its becoming a problem and they will make an excuse to fire me because of it.
One of the miners talking to me one day and I can;t understand him.
My partner says to him speak louder he's deaf.
OH... the kid says....
I thought the old man was stupid or something......

After that I noticed a few of the aprentices had stickers on their hard hats that said " I'm with stupid ".

Back in the day I was the new guy and we had this electrician named Gord.
I am not sure what was wrong with Gord but no one could understand what he was saying.
He didn't do much last few years.
Mumbled a lot and did his own thing.....
If you watched what he did you could learn a lot about trouble shooting electrical equipment and automation but you had to understand a lot about the trade or it might as well be like listening to this fellow.....

He made good coffee......
Thats my goal.....

All I can say is: Tämä kuuluu tyhmimpiin asioihin, joiden olen koskaan nähnyt!
Ceci est un des la plupart des choses stupides que je jamais ai vu !
Dies ist eines der dümmsten Dinge, die ich je gesehen habe!
Questo è una delle cose più stupide che mai ho visto!
¡Esto es uno de las cosas más estúpidas yo jamás he visto!
Det är en av de dummaste sakerna som jag någonsin har sett!

And just in case some of you didnt understand that:
Это - одна из самых глупых вещей, которые я когда-либо видел!
这是我有的其中一个最愚蠢的事情从来所见过!

This I can read.
Ceci est un des la plupart des choses stupides que je jamais ai vu !

This is need to work at
Это - одна из самых глупых вещей, которые я когда-либо видел!
But its got stupid and see or view in it, so its probable the same thing as the french

German is cool.
Dies ist eines der dümmsten Dinge, die ich je gesehen habe
Its shares a root language with English. Unlike modern english moving words around changes the mean of the sentice significantly
