What English sounds like to people who don’t speak English

October 15, 2011 / Dave Caolo

Each weekend, I post the cool things I found during the week. You can follow the Weekend List category here and the RSS feed here.

I’m fascinated by words and language. Particularly, how different languages, accents and regional dialects develop. So, this was “right up my alley,” as my Massachusetts-born mother likes to say.

  • As an answer to Carolyn on Twitter: The movie I'm glad I saw in a theatre was Return of the Jedi. The whole audience cheered, clapped their hands and hollered when Vader threw the Emperor down the shaft to save his son. I'll never forget the shared joy of that moment. Via @cstampeen.
