Pretending you don't speak your own language is surprisingly hard.

Instead of speaking Sims gibberish you could invent your own language (conlang), make it look and sound like a real one and construct/learn basic shit. It's really awesome to see those confused faces and you literally can't get caught by a native speaker of the lang you speak.

Reminds me, I visited the USA with a Danish friend, and when hanging out with people we would sometimes pretend to speak "European" to each others - he would speak in Danish and I would respond in French, acting like we actually were having a conversation.

It's amazing how many people just believed it without questioning it.

hi (sorry for my bad english)
>>
>>62078896

Why would some stranger question it? It'd sound weird to me but maybe you could be practicing each other's language.
>>
>>62078447
So he runs into you?
>>
>>62079078

He means how many people realised they were not speaking in the same language.

Fucking Americans
>>
>>62079063
I explained it wrong - we would pretend to be talking, people would inevitably ask what we were speaking and we would reply "European".

A lot of people would realize we were fucking with them and laugh, but most would just nod like you do when someone is talking to you about a film that you haven't seen but you act like oh yeah dude, great movie.

Another example. I'm curious though, what do the various different accents of English sound like to a non-native speaker? Is it all that noticeable?
