To the USA Chinese sounds like Wo jiao wang jiaming ding ting niang huo huan ming and remidns one of the syllable 'ing', German sounds like ig roog taroog nutzen mein schvasch rutzen and reminds one of a hound barking, japanese sounds like ichi ni san shi go roku, Italian sounds like chio raveli matanio io io io io and makes us think of art and pasta, sowhat does english sound like to non-native speakers?

The words sound whispered or garbled altogether in weird ways, like if you open a radio and there's background noise XD French, italian, japanese have a "clear" sounds in comparison.

It's music! I love the sound of English, mostly British English.



You can all give me the thumb down thingy now. English is still my favourite language and that fact won't change.

like gibberish because it really is. It makes you wonder why so many other languages are so closely related and English is not. hmmmm
