As a non native, I have superpower to turn on/off the understanding of english songs lyrics, so I can easily listen to them like an instrumental version on demand, and that's beautiful :)
I agree, if I don't give special attention to the lyrics I don't understand them. It's different with the native language, even if I don't want to hear the lyrics I still do.
Holy shyt that’s what I sound like to foreigners that don’t speak English???! Interesting! I heard words that I could identify but it sounded mostly like gibberish! I’m sure the struggle is the same for my counterparts
I've always wondered what a strong Scottish accent sounds like. I know many people who have just moved to Glasgow (where I live) that speak english thinking they aren't in an english speaking country 😂
I’m native but i still struggle to understand from films. Idk why. Like it’s not audibly clear or something. I always put on subtitles which shockw non-natives.
I'm American and what's crazy is... I understand them 100% and they're not even using words. I'm from the South tho and hell half of our American English is just that.
I love learning English and I can understand almost everything I hear from native English speakers in formal contexts but I struggle a lot to catch what native speakers are talking to each other in completely informal contexts, so to say the real world English with which I'll face my entire life. I can't grasp what they're talking about unless I use subtitles when it comes to watching English movies, series and TV shows, otherwise I couldn't catch almost anything because they have the strange habit of cutting out many syllables or even whole words when speaking rapidly and natively.
@@you_already_have_it I agree with you, and it also depends on one's way of speaking English because as you may have noticed in real life many people speak quickly but clearly while others don't.
As an English speaker is that what we really sound like? So for example, whenever BTS would do an interview in America this is what they would hear? Except RM of course.
I heard this much: So I have a film watched today . Yeah.... (I guess there was the movie name like-- the adorable wander fish or something) Can't breathe in overwhelming joy Is this even close enough?😅
Obviously, it’s based on how American English sounds to non-natives, but the point is that you can’t understand what they are saying. They probably chose American English, because it’s the prefered dialect around the world as it is the most clear.
Por jodido momento pensé que era una conversación normal en inglés pero al ver los comentarios me di cuenta de que mi capacidad para entender el inglés es una mierda ☺
I was in Austria and heard someone speaking (in German which I don't understand much of), so zoned out. Then suddenly I realised he was speaking English with a strong Glasgow accent. It's that not understanding so giving up thing.
Italian singer Adriano Celentano made a pop song about what english sounds like to non-english speaking people. The song was called "Prisencolinensinainciusol".
Another great example is this song Prisencolinensinainciusol which really messes with your mind, you keep trying to make sense of it. The only English words in it are "all right"
Well, it's not really improvable actually, i mean you can significantly improve it, and i've done it in a couple of months, so you could too. The problem put up right here is that in movies actors do mumble a lot, so therefore it's almost unreal to go on and try to finally get what they're discussing about. Thank me later.
Well it’s copied by Adriano Celentano “Prisencolinensinainciusol”. He is an Italian singer who in the 70s sang this song with fictional English, as back in the days Italians were able to understand anything if spoken English
If that's how Americans sound, we definitely sound crazy. Even more so with Brits and Aussies on top of that. I can only imagine someone telling a nong English speaker that all three of those people are speaking the same language
Teaching books have a preference for "as if it were" over the first one but in spoken language both are used. I would say it's better to use the second one in your writing. If you're talking about something imaginary use "were" instead of "was". "If I were you, I wouldn't buy that coat". "She acts as if she were rich"
@@lushlife664 But in a Song, there is a line " As if it’s your last ". Is it wrong? Actually, English isn’t my first language so I'm trying to learn every details of English Grammar.
@@MoaproductionBangladeshLTD Songs are not a good source of information when it comes to language learning. They are great to teach linguistic preferences of native speakers but just because many native speakers make a specific linguistic choice doesn't mean it's correct. It may be used in speaking but if you want to be correct you have to use the past simple tense. In some books this is described as "unreal past".
I speak English quite well. But couldn't get him from the first time. The complexity of speech as well as not a clear accent plays a huge role and can lead to misunderstanding. The problem here is the perception of information. It has very little in common with your speaking.

I just understood that "Yeah!"
Same bro same😭
Oh and "Elton John" at the end
And "today"
As a native speaker, this clip really does capture rhe overall rhythm, cadence, and phonology remarkably well.
As an Englishman, it sounds like Dutch
😮
Ive never met anyone who sounds like that
@@hoggarththewisesmeagol8362 then you know Shit about the Nederlands language
Definitely
It’s driving me insane because I feel like I understand what he’s saying but I can’t hear the words right now
fr like my brains ujust trying to understand and decifer it
It sounds like you’re trying to listen to a conversation from another room but you can only make out a few words 😂
Ikr!
@@daltongalloway You got it, literally right on.
It's what you hear when you're not actually listening 😂
I feel like I should understand what they are saying 😂
As a non native, I have superpower to turn on/off the understanding of english songs lyrics, so I can easily listen to them like an instrumental version on demand, and that's beautiful :)
Bro I’m non native and I can’t do that I’m pretty sure no one can
I agree, if I don't give special attention to the lyrics I don't understand them. It's different with the native language, even if I don't want to hear the lyrics I still do.
Same w/ japanese 👍🏾
How do you do that ? I am non native but I still understand them
@@lagorenayep, me too. I also cringe at lyrics in my native language songs. I want to turn it off, but I can't. 😅😂
I got “today” and “Elton John.”
Lmao
I herd that too that’s all
Sounds like he says I can’t believe that whore Elton John
“That dulls a reed blunderface”
I have always wondered how my native language sounds like to other people. And all I could pick from this film was "yeah" but they nailed it. 😂
Weird. We are just used to it through média. But English sounds very weird... Particularly your American "r". Quite disgracious.
@@XOXO-eo5vu r the letter or the sound?
I heard elton john after that “yeah”
The last phrase:
"I can't breathe than more Elton John" 😅😅
Me: what?!? 😂
I can't breath the more air out I'm John...
I heard Elton John too lol
I heard Elton John and butter face 😂
@@tanikapatrick6795 it’s hilarious that we all heard the name Elton John lol
@@tanikapatrick6795 it’s hilarious that we both heard the name Elton John lol
This is accurate ngl😂
“Who speaks gibberish and calls it a language” -Arthur Morgan
“how do people even come up with them words”
Yeah as a German I Had to agree with him cause the Germans ingame are Bavarian (they didnt speak Bavarian tho)
Being an simple person my simple question is
Wtf was that mf saying?
Holy shyt that’s what I sound like to foreigners that don’t speak English???! Interesting! I heard words that I could identify but it sounded mostly like gibberish! I’m sure the struggle is the same for my counterparts
As someone who isn't a native English speaker and who remembers what English sounded like to him when he didn't understand it, this is accurate.
Is it just me or do I hear this everyday I thought they were speaking normally then I got confused 😭
I'm really appreciate you because of to upload video everyday
У вас просто отличная речь. Никогда бы не подумал, что ваш родной язык русский, если бы не открыл описание канала
Me watching movies without subtitles:
Interesting to hear, I’m going to watch original video
That sounds exactly like how English would sound like to me before I learned English
I've always wondered what a strong Scottish accent sounds like. I know many people who have just moved to Glasgow (where I live) that speak english thinking they aren't in an english speaking country 😂
Scottish accent sounds like maño accent (Spanish from Aragón, in Spain). I love Scottish accent. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸😊❤
This is what my people sound like when they try to talk to you right after you wake up.
I got "so I put the laundry in the wash today" and something about "the dulls"
ohh yess
Es gracioso como la voz de la muchacha y el "audio" que se supone deberia de ser distinto al de su voz es completamente identico
I’m native but i still struggle to understand from films. Idk why. Like it’s not audibly clear or something. I always put on subtitles which shockw non-natives.
I heard “Elton John”
I'm American and what's crazy is... I understand them 100% and they're not even using words. I'm from the South tho and hell half of our American English is just that.
What did he say ? 🤔
I'm curious
My brain thinks they're saying words, and it's messing with me

Haha I love it! I'm a native English speaker... born and raised in Florida. Your comment makes me feel all exotic and whatnot lol 😂
Used to be the same thing for me years ago. Not anymore. You just need to practice more: watch TV shows, movies, etc.
@@you_already_have_it I agree with you, and it also depends on one's way of speaking English because as you may have noticed in real life many people speak quickly but clearly while others don't.
This paragraph was hard to read. Use periods and commas. Too many run on sentences. I had to read it out loud as a native English speaker!
It doesn't matter at all. 🙄 @@nysispieces5130
As an English speaker is that what we really sound like?
So for example, whenever BTS would do an interview in America this is what they would hear? Except RM of course.
I'm learning Spanish and this is what i hear when listening to Spanish but of course with Spanish words
that didn't make an sense
Me too. I can pick out certain words that I learned in school but not all of them.
I heard this much:
So I have a film watched today .
Yeah....
(I guess there was the movie name like-- the adorable wander fish or something)
Can't breathe in overwhelming joy
Is this even close enough?😅
Your so pretty in this dress
I still understand bro 🤦🏻♀️
Non_ native speaker is here.....🤘🏻🪽
Me agrada mucho Veronika's.
Es una chica muy dulce y hermosa ❤
That was an American speaking American English, not the English I speak as a U.K. citizen.. I had no idea what he was saying
Obviously, it’s based on how American English sounds to non-natives, but the point is that you can’t understand what they are saying. They probably chose American English, because it’s the prefered dialect around the world as it is the most clear.
This is pretty accurate! This is roughly what Spanish sounds like when I’m not entirely focused on what’s being said
Being a Spanish using a translator to speak, I can say that I hear all the conversations in English like that video, I literally see no difference
Por jodido momento pensé que era una conversación normal en inglés pero al ver los comentarios me di cuenta de que mi capacidad para entender el inglés es una mierda ☺
Me too 🤣
“Sorry round York it’s the wash today”
“Yeah..that doll’s a r@p3 on her face”
“Can’t breathe without more Elton John”
WHAT
😅the same sht.... absolutely
😂 genius 😎
Pretty much everything sounded like this when I was a kid and I’m a native speaker
English speaker here. I find it interesting and funny to listen 😂😂
Thanks 👍 very much madam
I was in Austria and heard someone speaking (in German which I don't understand much of), so zoned out. Then suddenly I realised he was speaking English with a strong Glasgow accent. It's that not understanding so giving up thing.
"So where's Yorker on the wash today."
"Oh!"
"Yeah."
"That doll's a rainbow on her face."
"Can't breathe at more than often John."
Good morning, Veronika
This is perfect English
ES IGUAL,ES IGUAAL!
I actually have wondered
Italian singer Adriano Celentano made a pop song about what english sounds like to non-english speaking people. The song was called "Prisencolinensinainciusol".
Another great example is this song Prisencolinensinainciusol which really messes with your mind, you keep trying to make sense of it. The only English words in it are "all right"
♥🔥✌ that helps me completely relax
I think only I couldn't understand movies but there are some people also don't understand movies. I'm very happy for that😅
Not something people it's everyone bro who don't have the English as their native language 🙂
Its sad that most Americans needed this video to know what hearing a foreign language you are learning is like
It’s quite right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As a Brazilian, I say that this is EXACTLY what English looks like to people who don't know English.
Like Danish or Dutch?
What I hear without subtitles:
Veronica its so difficult but some words i understood
Native speakers can tell you're not a native speaker love
As a Japanese, that's exactly the same when I hear native speakers speaking
First time she puts her hands together: 😐
Second time: 🤨
Third time: 😤
Fourth time: 😡
Fith: 🤬
6: 💀
What English sounds like when you don't have subtitles
So I got a raise at work today
The movie when the subtitles are off:
"reminds me my grandma got out the wash today"
Oh?
"Yeah, but there was a wrinkle on her face"
"Can't breathe out more apple John"
Wild convo
Thanks a lot
I’ve always wondered!
No! Ive never wondered because I know !!
But i wondered how portugues (brazilian pt) sounds for Americans
This is crazy 😂😂
How can i improve this?.
Well, it's not really improvable actually, i mean you can significantly improve it, and i've done it in a couple of months, so you could too. The problem put up right here is that in movies actors do mumble a lot, so therefore it's almost unreal to go on and try to finally get what they're discussing about. Thank me later.
"Seperate, hop and I'm done."
Bro be cookin' the Google Auto CC/Subtitle
Wow I am a native English speaker, and I could not even understand half of what they said in that film
Where's the original video?
😂😂😂😂😂 i don't understand without yeah,,,
Veronika, You should put a text to the short film, for the guy speaks not distingly, unclear for foraigners.
are the all english teachers must be a so beatiful like this?
i understand what are you talking but in the movie, the conversation more difficult to understand
Have you ever wondered what it's like to go up those stairs after a night at the bar?
I heard elton john lmfao
Dang i sound dumb to them lol

yeah i've seen it years ago mate
Thanku veronika ❤❤ ma'am i have an doubt that do you speak hindi😅😊
I have a question.
Which one is correct -
As if it’s your last
As if it was your last
Or As if it were your last?
Teaching books have a preference for "as if it were" over the first one but in spoken language both are used. I would say it's better to use the second one in your writing. If you're talking about something imaginary use "were" instead of "was". "If I were you, I wouldn't buy that coat". "She acts as if she were rich"
