Other languages sound distinctly different, full of accent. 🤔 Like, certain tilts to their voices which are not present in American English. Different cadence, different voice modulation. Like how Hindi sounds so very Hindi. Mandarin sounds so very Mandarin. Does that make sense?
But Japanese sounds like American English (to me) except with a different mashup of letters. Like if an American English speaker kid were to make their own little language, their words would have an American accent (I used to do that haha). The cadence would be the same. Japanese sounds the same.
Thoughts?
👁️👁️EDIT: P.S., I DONT mean it sounds the same when a native Japanese speaker speaks English. There is clearly an accent there, but I think that accent could be mostly due to things like Japan not using the “r” sound, etc. It’s just very easy for me to understand subtle emotion and attitude inflection (hence, cadence and voice modulation) in Japanese, but that’s not easy to me for other languages. Japanese just sounds very similar to English imo.
