Pretty cool, I think it's a pretty accurate representation of what English sounds like to non-speakers.

I really didn't like watching that.
My brain was trying so hard to make that make sense and it just didn't work. It was stressful.
Nice find.
 
Same with me, I had to turn it way up because I kept thinking I couldn't understand what they were saying.
 
thats cool that they used real english words to make it completely incomprehensible, and spoke so clearly and confidently.

I have seen some other video where they didn't use real words but made it sound really similar to english.
 
That was insane. It sounded like English but I could only figure out what they were sayin by tone of voice and actions. Super cool
 
What the fuck is the point of that. Thought it was stupid.

If I wanted to have trouble understanding english I could just watch snatch. And at least be entertained at the same time.

 
Wow, this is very interesting. I am going to show this to someone who does not speak english to see if whay they think about it.
 
SO IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE WHAT ENGLISH SOUNDS LIKE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BAD AT SPEAKING ENGLISH?

CAUSE I SPEAK FRENCH BUT SOMETIMES REAL FRENCH PEOPLE MUMBLE AND GO TOO FAST AND I CANT FULLY UNDERSTAND THEM.

I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT THESE PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT
 
thats what people hear when they dont speak english.

here another vid of multiple langugage:

I don't know how this brought pretty much the same reaction out of everyone in this tread. I didn't like it and my mind was certainly not blown. What are you guys so excited about? Was it being able to tell what was going on without hearing a proper language?? What is it about this movie?

Im English and that just made no sense...I however have no accent as i do not nor have i ever been to an English state school, I'm pretty sure if you heard me speak you would probably understand quite well...a lot of accents with in England i can't understand my self because they are just so far off proper English, they just sound like grunts...anyway it was a cool video but, slightly confusing...
 
there is no proper english. american english is an accent for the british and england english is an accent for the american. same goes with french, for me french from france have a really big accent because im a french-canadian. oh and btw you have an accent, its absolutly impossible to dont have an accent because every person have a different way to speak english.
 
can't say this, there are like 400million people with english as their first language, it varies so much, if you are from america, to me you most likely have an accent...

when people are learning English, they are meant to learn the queen's English( pretty much very well spoken with English(British) accent) but obviously that isnt how it turns out....
