What English sounds like to non-English speakers
Skwerl is a short film by Brian Fairbairn and Karl Eccleston which attempts to show how English language sounds to non-English speakers.
It’s quite clever really. Just imagine that if you were to attempt learn another language, when listening to a foreign conversation, you wouldn’t be able to follow the whole discussion, but you’d know a few words here and there.
The script for the film consists mostly of real English words, but is spoken out of order and is riddled with spelling and pronunciation errors. It's truly an incredibly realistic illustration of the frustration felt by foreign language learners.
So, in why not yacht’s a feeling this time is eye this picture bus pillow, screen and smile?
Fascinating and hey what good acting. It would be hard to learn script like that. I have always wondered what English would sound like if I didn't speak it so thanks for the video. Some languages sound harsh and some soft but English appears to be in between.
