Xenophobic, AND Fun!
You know what’s kind of xenophobic, but also kind of fun? I’ll tell you!
Go to Google Translate (a great tool) and type a phrase in your native language, then in the other box pick a language to translate it to.
As you type the translation will show up, and for the majority of languages a little icon will appear that says out loud your phrase in the other language. What fun!
Now, here’s where the xenophobia comes into play.
Type a simple phrase like, “I have a doctorate in giving hugs.”
Then play the phrase in another language. Then another language. Then ANOTHER language! Why? To see which language makes things sound like threats!
You could even mix it up with a James Bond-type phrase, “So we meet again. This time, I assure you, the pleasure will be all mine.”
And, for good measure, go for something weird, “The dinosaurs are here, and they look hungry. Where’s grandma?”
