Words that can easily identify their language (insurance, living in)

[Ethereal]

What are the most "noticeable" words in other languages that tend to easily identify them?

If I hear these words, I would know that the language is Turkish: Jack/Jackson (at least they sound like that), chock, evette, yolk, hayer, ban, sen...

Spanish: Gracias, este, bueno, si, vamos

I wonder what words do non-English speakers tend to notice the most in English?

By non-English speakers do you mean people who don't speak English as their first language or people who don't speak English at all?

Insurance, Tolerance, Enthusiasm, Influence, Racism, Importance, Suspicious, Curiosity, Recognition, Disappointing

So that the question sounds interesting, I did a quickly survey with my family.
My mum says that she notices the words for yes/no and hello/ bye bye.
For me and my sister also expressions such as "excuse me" or "s' il vous plait" (not sure about the spelling) are easy to recognize.

From Spanish I can also recognize several words that I heard in some song, like "bailar", "plaia" etc

Anyway, I can recognize only few languages, in most cases I can barely understand the group of the language.

"este" and "vamos" are also portuguese words.
