When I make French sound English, I usually pronounce the dipthongs like their English counterparts and I'll say the consonants at the ends of the words.

The computer macchine is not to be poked with a finger or to be grabbed. It's easy to snap the insides, blow its fuses, and make popcorn with its spitting sparks.

"dumpkopf" is a spoof on the German word "dummkopf," literally meaning "dumbhead" so indeed, it's used to refer to stupid people.

There's this thing in Hebrew where you add "-ation" (pronounced like in English) to the end of basically every word.

So... something like this?
