What does/do you think English sound(s) like to non-English speakers?

I have been wondering about this for a while and I found this YouTube video.

Is this a good example of what English sounds like to non-English speakers or does it sound different?

That video was really creepy and gross

I've actually always wondered that. Here, we all know what our made up "chinese" or other languages sound like. I've always wondered what English sounds like to non-english speaking folk.

The same as if I hear someone speaking German - I hear it exactly the way a German speaker does, but I just can't understand it.

ive also wondered this.

i would assume it sounds to them, like what foreign languages sounds to english speakers.

It sounds like a foreign language that they don't understand.

Like the adults in Charlie Brown.Dark__Link

i like the singing lol

Daaaa......baaaa.......dibba...dooooo........gahhhh. (One word)

(In their head) I wish this dumb**s fool would hurry up. I've got somewhere to be. (Took about the same time in their language)

Listen to somebody when they speak but only pick the sounds of the word and not the letters. It sounds like gibberish.

Wanna know what English sounds like to a non speaker?

Now all you need to do is show that video to someone who doesn't speak or understand english, and see if they think there's something wrong with it._Cadbury_

All I could hear was gibberish. Seems legit.

always wondered aswell what English sounds like

Since my native language is Spanish I gotta admit English was kind of hard at the beginning, but mind that I started learning English as a kid. Now, it is quite easy but for what I hear from my classmates the real problem of them is the pronunciation and the grammar rules. Miroku32
