Not too stew-pid at all!

I have the impression that people speak differently when not speaking in their native languages. Might be because we are more aware of the way we are talking?

Anyway, I am curious to see people with non-English native tongues do a video where they speak in both languages, specially the more exotic ones.

Is norwegian considered exotic?

This is quite often true in my experience. I even catch myself speaking weirdly in English. Using too much intonation, like overemphasising question sentenses. As if I subconsciously don't trust that I can be understood otherwise. Video won't help though, this doesn't happen when aware of the issue

I guess everything that is not English is exotic.

Still, I think a little bit of that effect will be present.

I hate the sound of my own voice. It sounds so weedy and pathetic.
