How English sounds to non-English speakers.

Making its way around the interwebs...

Surprisingly hypnotic, like looking at hand with six fingers or the Citgo sign over Fenway.

No need to be the Debbie Downer who tries to explain how biological audiological responses are the same for everyone, no matter if they are fluent in a language or not. The video is trying to suggest that English's prevalence in the world means non-English speakers understand every few words from a fluent speaker, before the rest just sounds like a mash of phonetic chaos.

Also, swap all this out for Spanish or French and this is how it sounds to me. "Oooh! I know that word! And that one, too! Maybe. Okay, no, I lied."
