That is actually good faking :D
The Finnish was brilliant, especially since the stress/intonation sounded very dialectal to me (funny to listen to). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Haha I don't hear that, haha I hear Spanish. Actually "simlish" is based on real languages, like Ukrainian, French, and Tagalog (very loosely that is.) If there is any fake languages I'd love to learn it'd definitely be simlish. Edited by QHealer on 24 November 2009 at 7:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wow, I was stumbling and I came across this great Italian-made song that is made to sound like English. It will give you a great understanding as to what English sounds like to foreigners.

Well, this guy was kind of impressive actually he had a good command of the sounds and
the stress in the "sentences" it actually did sound like the languages (most of them anyway) but of course I would rather speak a language than being good at faking one. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wow, that one was good. It was honestly so much like English my brain was actually trying to turn a lot of it into words.

English sounds like mumbling to a lot of foreigners I met. I have been to a small country in Africa where almost nobody spoke English and some of the locals for fun tried to speak fake English and it sounded like mumbling with a lot of TH and S sounds.

They could make the TH sounds? I heard those are really difficult for non-English/Icelandic speakers! lol, I just mumbled to myself and inserted occasional TH and S sounds. I bet it was funny sounded! I'd upload a clip but I don't have a mic. 1 person has voted this message useful |
