That was incredible. I heard the first few lines and went "...why can't I parse these phrases?", then read the story of the song and went "oh". Thank you for posting it.

Amazing. If I had watched this video a few years ago, when my listening skills were not
as good as they are now, I wouldn't have realized that it's not real English. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The "Fake Languages!" video was funny. The English sounded like a California "surfer
dude" accent. Very nasal, and with the end-of-statement up-talk. I hope that not all English accents are quite so nasal! (The problem with doing a fake English accent is deciding which one to copy. The internet has so many to choose from.) 1 person has voted this message useful |
