Here’s a stupid Alexa trick.

Use the Alexa app to set the language to something other than English, say, French.

Ask Alexa a question. It will respond in French.

Use the Alexa app to set the language to US-English.

Say, “Alexa, repeat that.”

Alexa will repeat the French response, but using the US-English speech synthesizer, which means it will be speaking French words with a horrible American accent.
