Tripping to another language?

What would it be like to put on an audio clip/mp3/whatever of someone speaking another language? Like, if they were giving a speech or something.
I bet that would be pretty cool and fascinating.

Dunno, but I once had an hour long conversation in Montreal with someone who only spoke french. I only speak english, I dont understand french - he understood some english, but not much.
What we talked about, I have no idea.

I don't really think listening to a speech or something would be that amusing, it would eventually get to the point of "I can't understand this even if I wanted to, why am I listening to this?" (unless it was music or something). Trying to communicate with someone in a different language that you kinda understand would be fun though...

Sometimes while on acid words will lose their meaning to me. It's mostly with music as the singing sounds garbled and almost like another language and I can't understand what is being said. It also sometimes happens when people around me are talking to eachother but not loud or directly at me. Anyone else ever get this?

I've found that on higher doses of Mushrooms (I havnt had this happen to me on LSD before), language starts to lose its meaning. There has been more then one time I've managed to utter out the words 'I cant understand english anymore' to someone talking to me -- but I hear the words, but simply find it impossible to attach meaning to them, or be able to do it quickly enough to hold a conversation.
There has also been once or twice where language gets so greatly distorted I cant even recgonize the words. The famous words from my 1st mushroom trip were
"Genivive, you sound like the charliebrown teacher, I cant understand you - love you, goodbye!"
I had called her on my cellphone after my 1st mushroom trip started to kick in, mid call her voice just started to sound all charliebrown teacher and I simply couldnt understand her anymore so I managed to say goodbye.
Then, while waiting near the porta-potties some guy starts to chat me up, and I could of swore he was speaking german to me or something (although friends later confirmed it was english) and I think I offended him as I just kept giving him a really confused 'what?!' look.

When I trip hard, everyone talking sounds like they're speaking in another language--except my trip buddies that is, its cool.
And also, when I trip really hard, I simply cannot talk. My brain can't put words together, and if it can, its at such a slow rate, my sentences dont make any sense.

The main reason for this topic is, I am betting that if I had a long clip of someone speaking in beautiful language, french, italian or something like those, I would be fascinated by them and I would be hanging on every word regardless if I knew what they were saying.

i remember once when i was tripping, the spanish channel was one (Back before i knew any spanish) and i was listening to it in a way totally different than i would normally, and my brain was processing the language in a really weird way...and i realized it was the way my brain used to process language when i was a really little kid as i was learning english
your brain learns language differently when you are an adult vs when you are a little kid, because when you are little it hears subtle differences in every sound, and notices patterns in speech and groups words and spaces between them, and tones and all sorts of crazy shit
i dont know if that makes any sense, i cant really explain it, but it was pretty awesome

My first mushroom trip a tried to explain to a sober friend something extremley simple (e.g. I had called someone earlier. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I was takign so long trying to get the one sentence out he started to time me. Three minutes later I finished.
