How English Sounds To Foreigners (this guy is hilarious!)
Twitter (I won't call it X) ^ | 05/24/23

Have you ever made fun of a Chinese accent by going "Ching chong ching!" Or an Arabic accent going "Durka Durka Mohammed jihad!"

Well, this is what it sounds like when they do the same!

Some funny replies: "I can understand him better than Biden!"

"This guy just sold me a Ford F150!"

Watched it a bunch of times. He nails it! Can't stop laughing!

We really sound like that? I think we do.

Enjoy!

Adriano Celentano - Prisencolinensinainciusol

Excellent!

My beloved and departed Russian mother-in-law absolutely loved Celentano.

I never heard him until the very first time I went to visit Ukraine. And then I kinda got hooked. Brings back memories.

One of the warning signs of a stroke is that you understand the lyrics.

When I've asked my Russian wife if she can do an American accent, she adopts a hilarious and comical southern drawl. It's all she knows.

She tells me though that I can say a few phrases in Russian with almost zero accent. But only with her. I tried it by myself in Sevastopol and botched it horribly.

If I have to explain it, you're not going to understand.

That’s a pretty damn good approximation of the North American accent.

Yes! I told one of my Swedish friends that they really do sound just like the Swedish chef. Swedish has that same rhythm he speaks with.

When I was stationed in England for 3 years all Brits trying to do an American accent would sound like John Wayne.

Rush put me on to Adriano Celentano with that video. I love Adriano Celentano’s other videos, too. Not that many tho.
