Overhearing foreign languages is annoying!

I think it was more of an anti-stupid sentiment.

Also you speak every language ever all of a sudden.

Was ist Völker mit Menschen sprechen in einer anderen Sprache suck als Deutsche. Ich glaube, es ist ein sehr freundlichen Sprache und vielleicht sogar ein jeder sollte sprechen!!!:pac::P:D

ScumLord · 24-01-2011 08:49PM

there's nothing I like to hear more is a foreigner with a mish mash of foreign accent and Irish accent and slang. The poor things are stuck here now, that accent won't do them a lick of good in any other countries nobody will believe it's English.

af_thefragile · 24-01-2011 08:51PM

What would you rather hear?

A bunch of innercity scumbags yapping on really loudly about what they got upto the last nite and what next to spend their dole money on, at the back of the bus.

Or

A couple of foreign people having a conversation in their language talking about whatever people talk about??

Noodleworm · 24-01-2011 08:59PM

Anyone being really loud on the phone is annoying, I think it happens more when your confident no one can understand you.
Mainly just annoys me when i'm on holiday and my family start doing it.

xuan xuan · 24-01-2011 09:26PM

I live in a foreign country, and they're even at it over here.

It's a fupping disgrace.

Metallergy · 24-01-2011 09:31PM

this reeks of "ffs speak english man" as a retort to someone speaking even irish.. which is fairly foreign to most of us lets face it

Krusader · 24-01-2011 09:41PM

Listening to all the languages in Ireland over the last few years, got me interested in our own tongue, the world would be a fúcking dull place if we all spoke the same shít

inforfun · 24-01-2011 09:56PM

OP is just jealous.
I can insult the living **** out of anyone in my own language here, as long as i keep a smile on my face i will get away with it.
Something you English speakers will not be able to do very often here or abroad.

It's a historical fact that St. Patrick invented Irish in 1452 so Irish people could talk about those around them while on holiday in Santa Ponsa, actually.

You miss the point agAin sir.
Even if you were insulting me ,it would all just sound like noise to me.
Its the noise factor that counts.
Maybe this is just too hard for some people to understand.

AH well.

I speak 3 languages fluently and bits of others but some languages do just sound horrible to me. Nothing to do with ignorance or anything. They're just shíte sounding languages in my opinion. When i hear someone on a bus shouting down the phone they do annoy the fúck outta me. But they annoy the fúck outta me because they are irritating pricks for shouting. Whatever language they are speaking doesn't play a part. Just shut up and speak at a lower tone.

I agree 100% with you, it's terribly distracting when you are trying to walk down the street in our own country.
I also ain't too crazy about the way some of them look different to us also

slimjimmc · 24-01-2011 10:43PM

If the noise is too loud, reduce it ....a or b

I study foreign languages (Spanish and Italian) in college because I think that they sound a lot nicer than English sounds.

As soon as I finish college I am going to look into learning even more foreign languages.

I love it, it's kind of like cracking a code. After spending some time you begin to be able to understand something that was incomprehensible to you before hand.

I love hearing different languages being spoken around me. I like to try and figure out what language it is that is being spoken.

I love that I live in a multi-cultural and diverse city.

Hurricane-Dean · 24-01-2011 10:54PM

They can speak kling on imo there's only two instances i find it "annoying", in the morning on the bus, when no one really wants to hear anything and ordering fast food if they turn to their colleague and speak away

Spanish is a fantastic language and with it you have a good foot-in for Italian and Portuguese.

The only thing that annoys me about it is when you are on a long bus journey home and you just want to sleep and there are people who feel like they can mouth what they like at the top of their voice on the phone for everyone to hear.....the...whole...way...home -_-

Ofc there are irish people that do but then there are people who feel safe in the knowledge that you can't understand that they lose all sensitivity to the people around them.

Captain Havoc · 25-01-2011 12:10AM

If we had a problem with foreigners we shouldn't have joined the EU. Anyway, I certainly didn't give a bollix about upsetting people speaking English with my anglophone friends when I was living abroad and I don't give a bollix about upsetting people when speaking French or German with my French/ German friends over here.

Sign language users upset me when they do the fart sign.

I live in London and I hear foreign chit-chat all the time. I'm used to it. Besides, I listen to foreign radio quite often. I like to have it on as background sound.

I see your point about volume. Languages i dont get do sound loud to me as well. Personally i think it is because i dont understand a word of it, makes it sound louder than it really is.

And oh.... asked 2 Irish here but they both are stuck on "tarraimh" and so is google translate. Care to fill us in?
