Question for people whose first language is NOT English? Before you learned to speak English (obviously you must now know it or you wouldn't understand me) what did it sound like to you? Do the following for me. 1) Which langauge does it sound the most similar to? 2) Write in made-up words what English sounded like to you before you learned it-- e.g. German to me sounds like "zilchen heimer skitzenfrieger." I just totally made that up so do that for English please. Thank you.
