This is why "interpretation of tongues" is a supernatural gift.

In Acts ch 2, all the disciples were speaking in tongues BEFORE any crowd showed up. When they did show up, EACH visitor heard THE DISCIPLES speaking in HIS OWN language, the language/dialect of the visitor. This is not biologically or anatomically possible and so it was a supernatural intervention by God to cause the visitors to HEAR in their own native languages.

If God wants to cause a person to speak in a foreign but known existing language He certainly can do it, but that is not what was happening in Acts.
Well said brother.
