revelation

so in the past i’ve wondered what English, as a language, sounds like to those who don’t speak it. i thought there was really no way of knowing, being that i DO speak English, but i was wrong.

i stumbled on a whole page about it, with videos demonstrating it… there were a bunch of people from other countries imitating English the way we imitate Japanese and Chinese and German and whatnot. just, the sound of it. and it clicked. i know what it sounds like to people who don’t speak it, now, basically.

but this, for sure, was the coolest video there. it’s a song written by some Italian songwriter in fake English. and i have to admit, it DOES sound like English, besides that there are no actual English words except, like, “alright”, which is now spelled “oll raigth,” apparently.

plus, it’s just the coolest freaking song and video ever. even though it creeps me out a little bit.
