You know, when saying fake Spanish people add -o to the end of every word, stuff like that. Whats the equivalent for English?


I heard in latin america people add '-ation' to the end of everything to mimic english but I have no idea how true that is and Ive never confirmed it in a bunch of google searches.

This song is pure gibberish but it was made to sound like it was in English to native Italian speakers. I think it was trying to mimic Bob Dylan somewhat.

American english: Swap every period and comma with the vile word 'like'.

I'm not sure that there is much to mock about what has become basically the de facto global lingua franca, I figure any mocking would be of specific accents and we already do our own mocking of that.

There is a lot of that adding '-ation' to things. I guess that's really a uniquely English sound.

This is the most accurate representation of what english sounds like to non-english speakers (and it's a fuckin banger too)

I asked a visiting Swedish friend this exact question last weekend (the topic of the Swedish Chef had come up), and apparently all (British) English sounds like either Hugh Grant or Tracer from Overwatch. There is apparently no middle ground.

There was one of those videos about fake English that I saw on here years ago that was really funny at the time. I barely remember it but I think there was a scene in a restaraunt and a court room? I remember them saying "howdy". Anyone know what that was?

When she was little, my grandma had a friend from Germany, and her friend told her Americans sound like they are talking with hot potatoes in their mouths.

That was before the second war, but I imagine it's the more or less the same now.

We don't do that OP. Making fun of people for how they speak is extremely rude and insensitive and only an English-speaker would think of doing such a thing, all "hooowdy folks this is how you eat a cheesin burger yeehaw" :lofty:
