Russian is the worst sounding to me. Too many nasaly e and i sounds like я,е,и,й,н. Interesting that foreigners say that its centered around the r. Where I live we drop the r. (Typical of southern dialects). Another distinctive thing is that we have trouble with the "ng" sound. For example I have trouble with Lancaster, PA, which is pronounced LANG-kister, but I say LAN-kastuh. I definitely agree on the unusual vowels and focus on l's and e's though.
@Oricelis To us they aren't unusual, but compared to French, Spanish or other Latin languages they are pronounced different. If you listen to foreigners who barely hear English imitate it it always comes out like "Racima roy kacirar semies larayori" for example. I talked to some foreigners about it and they say most dialects sound like that but each have a different rhythm. They usually like the Southern accent for some reason. I can't pick up Chinese accents well, like the Beijing.
Really? I think Mandarin to sounds awful. German sounds very nice in western Germany, but horrible in eastern Germany. I'm a big fan of Spanish and Hungarian and Hawai'ian. Arabic sounds good too. In English, I think most American accents sound much more relaxed and smooth when speaking, and most British accents sound strained and forced.
As for the vid, thats how midwesterners sound to me.
@Oricelis I like the sound of Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Arabic. The harsh sounding ones to me are Russian, German and Vietnamese. Most other languages are neutral to me like French, Swedish, Norwegian or Korean. Mandarin Chinese is becoming my second language, and I noticed it sounds better in singing and when spoken slowly. Foreigners say that American English is centered around the "r", "I" and "E" and sounds smooth but nasal and exotic sounding vowels.
@Oricelis It should really be boring, although learning a new language is both fun and hectic. English has a very interesting history. It's just us Americans made the English language sound very unpleasant compared to British English. Soon they're gonna evolve into 2 separate languages. I might be wrong but I heard English used to be a dialect of German.
@AlimeProductions Actually, most American dialects are more similar to the older forms of English. The English language in the UK is nothing like it was spoken back when the colonies were formed. American English sounds fine, I really don't understand how it is unpleasant in any way. The accent many people seem to hate is the Southern Accent, which interestingly is the American accent most similar to UK dialects.
@Oricelis Americans from the North dislike the Southern accent, but some foreigners think it's either hilarious or has some type of rhythm. I don't know, maybe to some countries it's like that but to others it isn't.
@AlimeProductions English is a mash up of german and french with a little celtic, norse, latin, and greek thrown in. I have what is called a "tidewater accent", an American accent. Look it up here. I don't think it sounds boring or unpleasant at all.
@Oricelis No, I wouldn't really call it boring but I did hear that American accents are really ugly sounding with the exception of the Southern accent. I heard it sounds hilarious but it has rhythm. But I hear British English is more pleasant. That's just the opinion of foreigners. To us, our accents have no affect on us because we've heard them many times.
@briskii1020yea Haha, but it is the most common language. Chinese is the most common first language. The thing is American English doesn't sound very nice to foreigners, but British English does. Americans really made some strange accents out of it. Foreigners say American English is a really weird sounding language but they think British English sounds beautiful. American English and British English are probably gonna end up as 2 separate languages in a few hundred years.
@AlimeProductions Tha Amercan language is different all over america. Theres tha popular Southern one and the California blonde girl one, and the new york accent. But there's soooo many more accents in America , people would be surprised.
@briskii1020yea As much as Northern states dislike the Southern accent, foreigners seem to like it and think it sounds really hilarious. They say it has a flowing rhythm but it just sounds really funny. The most pleasant sounding foreign language to me is Mandarin Chinese, but the least is probably German.
Ya I love his imitation of our "r". Lol I think most languages roll their "r"s, and french does that thing at the back of their throat for "r" lol. Even british people pronounce their "r" differently. Canada and the US are probably the only ones that make their "r"s like that, kind of cool =)
English does NOT show choppy... It's very smooth... I grew up speaking Japanese and English, and I'm trying to learn Chinese, CHINESE is a choppy language, English is NOT...
@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77 A few dialects of German, Dutch and Portuguese do. Also most dialects of Mandarin and Tamil. It is pretty rare actually, you can tell Mandarin from other Chinese languages because of all their "er"s and "zhr"s
ah, hablo espanol Y ingles. aquí en los Estados Unidos, la mayoría de las escuelas, nos convierte en aprender español. mi primer idioma es el Inglés sin embargo.
don't you realize... the camera guy was trying to get him to do his english imitaion but he was like no I don't want to and then the very last bit was him speaking "English"
haha yea pretty close i guess because we americans emphasize the "errr" in most words. also, most of our words, i would think, end in "ing" and "tion" in dialogues.
Haha that's weird. Just about everyone makes fun of our "r's", eh? Well at least we SAY them rather than say "auh" like Brits =P (No offense, the British have lovely accents)
Sometimes I just want to walk into a foreign country, like Germany or France, and see how they react to my accent/tongue. They'd probably go,"Oh... an American" *throws shoe* "Oh, don't worry, that's just how we greet each other." =D
Looks like a nice guy, but that sounded nothing like any kind of English to me, it all sounded like Spanish. I have no idea when he was even attempting the English, there isn't a difference in sound.
LOl this is so funny When I went to Mexico as a kid people would ask me to give 'em a sample of Enlgish. And well anyway... That right there is what they would sound like when they would try speaking english. LOL That brought back alot of memories
Bravo hombre valiente! Cuando mis familiares tratan de imitar a los Americanos hablando inglés siempre habren su boca como peces en forma de "O" y dicen mucha la palabra "actually." They seem to be right, we open our mouths as we speak much wider than those who speak Romance languages. But actually, we don't use "actually" so often =P hehe...
My spanish is not too good, but it sounded like he was saying, "Not Now!" "Yes, now" "No, another time, when my friends leave I'll try fake English" "Now, now, please!"
jajaja me encanta lo. suena como ingles un poco..."prepare to rest...." es que yo oi. yo enseno espanol ahora pero hablo ingles. tu eres guapo. i think he is spanish not mexican... i dont know if my grammer is bad up there...
