The fake English film above sounds like American accents though the actors are both Autralians-- vexing!

The French musical artist Camille said on NPR that, to her, English is all about vowels.

NPR had a story this week on the 40th anniversary of an Italian hit song in gibberish fake English. "Prisencolinensinainciusol" went to No. 1 all over Europe.

I am a little late in responding as it took me some time to catch up with your podcast and then I couldn't access your site for a week. But here's a clip from a popular Polish late 70-s comedy showing what English sounds like to Poles - the announcer stuffs her mouth to get a proper English accent.
