Yes! It works with other languages too, even those that aren’t your mother tongue! I am a a foreign language teacher and at a recent conference they had the audience read a similar paragraph in Spanish, with jumbled spelling. I couldn’t believe that my mind could figure out what it was supposed to say in Spanish too! The key, however, is that you must already be familiar with the jumbled words. Your brain can only re-arrange the letters of words you already know, not new words. It’s still mind-blowing, if you ask me!

[...] You may have seen the research done by Cambridge University related to spelling. Your mind will compensate for misspelled words and you may miss your own errors. I read, and reread what I post and I still make mistakes. [...]

Good question. My verbal Spanish seems to come out that way most of the time. I try to avoid writing in Spanish.

That’s pretty cool, but it actually does work. I wonder if that will work with my Spanish?
