Favourite Language: Japanese 日本語
Example Sentence:
Your Language:
私: 君、何人ですか?(kimi, nani jin desuka?)
子: 日本人!(Nihon jin!)
私: そうか。実は、僕も日本人だよ。(Souka. jitsu ha, boku mo nihonjin dayo.)
子: うそ!お前は外人だ!(Uso! Omae ha gaijin da!)
私: うそじゃない、本当よ。だって、僕は足何本がある?(Uso jyanai, honto yo. Datte, boku ha ashi nanbon ga aru?)
子: 二本だ。 (Nihon da.)
私: だから、僕は二本人だ。 (Sono toori. Dakara, boku ha nippon jin da.)
子: [ドーン]
English:
Me: What country-person are you?
Kid: Japanese!
Me: I see. Actually i am Japanese as well!
Kid: You are lying! you are a foreigner!
Me: It's the truth! How many legs do i have?
Kid: Two legs.
Me: Exactly. That's why, I am a two-legged person, too.
Kid: [Mind blown]
(the words "Japanese-person" and "two long cylindrical objects" sound similar in Japanese)
Oh... I also didn't write this completely on my own, I'm not good enough for that just yet.

I particularly like the last four responses. American English, Spanish, Japanese and Danish are all very interesting languages and I think these are the model answers for this thread.

Example Sentence: Ich bin ein berliner. / Ich möchte zu essen eine pfannkuchen. (Not sure if grammar is entirely correct)
Your Language: English
Nope. I'm sorry but the second sentence is: "Ich möchte eine pfannkuchen essen." This is because Google Translate translated the "I want to eat a pancake" in "Ich möchte zu essen eine pfannkuchen." But the zu essen is an infinitive, while in English the sentence isn't an infinitive... You dig it? haha.
Anyway,
Favourite Language: English
Example Sentence: I'm gonna freaking blow your head off!
Your Language: Ik woon in de grote stad Leiden, dicht bij de Nederlandse kustplaats Scheveningen.
Love ya. xd

Favourite Language: Malay
Example Sentence:
Malay: eh bodoh, ada komputer sini?
English: oi dumbass, have you got a computer in here?
Why: It's basically English, with words spelt how you'd WANT them to be spelt.
Oh, and plurals are just the word repeated
(tuan = man, puan = woman , puan puan dan tuan tuan = ladies and gentlemen)
Taxi = Teksi
Bus = Bas
Computer = Komputer
Technology = Teknologi
Cake = Kek
Express = Ekspres
Carbohydrate = Karbohidrat
And brown is coklat (chocolate).
Helped by my lovely little Malay friend.

Looks a bit like Dutch. (I know it is a far dialect). Translated: Kijk niet echt het punt hierin.
Normal Dutch: Ik zie niet echt het punt hierin.
"Kijk" and "Zie" are the same as Looking and Seeing.
"Regtig" looks like the German word "Richtig" which means really or true: translated in Dutch: "Echt"
"Hierdie" is "Hierin"
Conclusion: Dutch haha.

Cake = Cake
Express = Uitdrukken (We do have the word Expres which means On Purpose)
Carbohydrate = Koolhydraat
Haha. So funny to recognize so manny languages
