user
English speakers have an innate advantage of learning and understanding other English languages more quickly than non-English languages since English follows a phonetic spelling system that makes it easier to hear how words are pronounced. While some linguists believe that non-English languages sound like gibberish because English speaker do not have the ability to process them due to our language's uniqueness and complexities, this opinion is greatly disputed. Many other scientists maintain that all spoken languages follow basic rules of communication which we can understand if we take time to learn its structure, vocabulary and nuances.

This is because most other languages have an entirely different writing system, with symbols and characters that are unfamiliar to us. The pronunciation of the words may be similar, but without being able to read and write in these languages it can sound like gibberish due to our lack of familiarity with the unique sounds each language makes.
