Whenever English speaking people hear something extremely difficult to comprehend an expression often used is ‘It sound Greek to me’. Have you ever wondered how the Greek language actually sounds to people from different countries? Well this young Asian youtuber from Canada put this to the test and did an experiment. He went out to his university campus and played audio of a Greek TV show (Female hostess Menegaki, specifically) and asked random students what language they were hearing. Some of them managed to recognise letters from the Greek alphabet, while others found it similar to Spanish or Portuguese. He finally asked them to imitate what they heard. Let’s see what they replied.
