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.

Answer

its normal to us here in philippines....

Answer

Philippines has been under the colony of Americans in the early 19th century.  I was born and grew up listening and speaking English (not being an american accent though). It's actually a part of our major language next to Tagalog. 

When I was learning elementary English however, it sounds like a normal language spoken in our country but in different tone and pronunciation. the simple questions: what, where, when, why, who & how are pronounced as 'wat,wen, wer ,way, hu & haw.'
