I'm sitting in class, and my professor might as well be speaking in a language that's pretty unintelligible. All I hear is like Ching chong ling long ting tong or some similar shit. Do I try to listen or do I just walk out?

For more info, my prof is a British/Australian/Chinese guy with a fuckfest of accents mixed into his speech. Its pretty insane.

PS: I have 60 more minutes of class

Ask him to repeat every sentence after he says it. Take good notes.

He has slides, but I really can't understand a lick of what he's saying

I find your lack of innuendo disturbing. I suppose the title could be perceived as somewhat racist though, so I'll let you barely pass for this one. C+

Also, the fact that you find yourself linguistically dazzled by your professor, yet you present yourself as a "translator", an interpreter or sorts, amuses me to no end.

I had a professor that was speaking in some ridiculous chinese accent for like, 3 months and nobody could understand what he was saying. by the time we finally started understanding him, it turns out that the whole time he was actually telling jokes in the middle of his lecture. and all this time, nobody laughed and he was still going at it. like a boss

I believe I have a skill in understanding really broken English, so now I'm curious to see if I can understand what your professor is saying O_O

~When the professor leaves or something just say out loud. "does anyone understand what the hell he's saying?"

I never hide my headphones in class >_>

I've heard Chinese/British accents are pretty ridiculous, I suppose you're experiencing it firsthand.

I took English Syntax in College with a professor from China.

English Syntax taught by anyone that doesn't have a traditional english accent is next to impossible.

Although comparing other languages as unintelligable is odd and insulting.

Most of the professors I had in college didn't care if you had headphones in, computers open, sleeping or not even show up for class. They understand it's your responsibility to get the information yourself.

I always understand. No matter how thick the accent or how broken the grammar and wording. So either use ur brain and understand it or quit wasting ur time and leave. But realistically its a joke how they hire those types.

Understanding the syntax of a particular language is not the same to being able to speak a language.

Its like saying I can't take a course on European history unless a European is teaching it.

The problem with asking that is that you come off as an ignorant douche if everybody else does understand him.

Try to say something to him by making up words that sound like something he would say.

Might get interesting.

Can I hold you liable for stabbing my laptop in anger? Somewhat reminds me of my brother when we were teens, he was pretty pedantic about certain things, including, I kid you not, standing on the right side of the escalator at the mall.

The rule in england is, stand on the right side, walk on the left. My brother always felt the need to apply this to the far-less populated local mall on the countryside of Norway.

So whenever he saw somebody stand on the left side, or vice versa, he would get pissed and kind of push them away. However, what pissed him off even more was when immigrants stood/walked on the wrong side of the escalator.

"What, they think they can just come to our country and stand on the wrong side of our escalators?"
