When I was in Paris, I heard French every day – shop owners, people walking on the street (usually bumping into me…), in theaters (going to movies alone was one of my favorite things to do) and especially in restaurants. I also heard a lot of other languages, like Japanese, Italian, Polish, German, Farsi… and even though I have no idea how to speak any of those languages, I knew their roots at first listen. And so, I sometimes wonder: What does English sound like to someone who doesn’t speak it or understand it, but recognizes the sound of it? Via a blog I’ve been enjoying regularly lately, this short film called, “Skwerl” answered this very question. Enjoy.
