I absolutely detest French. It sounds completely hideous and grotesque to me, but a lot of people love it.
I love the Russian language, but I'm clearly biased. I really love our consonant clusters and all the ts, zh, and "soft" consonants.
I love how written Arabic looks. Written Chinese looks cool as fuck too.
I was surprised to find out a few years ago that Mongolian shares the Cyrillic alphabet.
I'm also surprised to recently find out that Swedish isn't that ugly for being a Germanic language.
I'm also surprised by how extremely similar Bulgarian is to Russian. Sounds like funny Russian to me sorta like Ukrainian does.
Got something to say?

a stripper sees me standing around, makes a fists and motions it real quick back and forth like four times each way and then points to the lap dance room. i declined as her mileage in the past sucks but she gets points for making me laugh.
To me French has always sounded beautiful. Took French in college. The first semester was easy; by 2nd semester I had to actually go to almost classes, and got good grades, but it was a bit tough when usually I learn fast. Also, sooo many French words have way too many letters. Like ok that's enough, it's a little laughable. I still like the language.
I took German in high school. It's kind of easy to learn, but it's kind of an ugly language... let's be real. Nothing about German language is beautfiul.
If I weren't a native "American English" speaker, I'd think English sounds weird... especially southern dialects, or NYC dialects, that are a specific part of American English.

"I absolutely detest French. It sounds completely hideous and grotesque to me, but a lot of people love it."
I don't disagree... but English spoken with a French accent is pretty cool...

That isn't to say I don't appreciate anything of theirs. I love perfume and these people happen to do it well.
Utbay Iay ovelay igpay atinlay! (iddingkay)
I've had people tell me the most ordinary shit in Russian either sounds badass or hot. And I'd like say something about a flower and that is somehow badass??? LOL or I'd say the least sexy or most boring thing and they think it sounds hot.
I hate my voice in English very much, but oh well.
I love the way Romanian and Farsi sound.
Haitian creole and African French sound really good.
I've gotten compliments on my Spanish a lot of times.
On Greek, I have no idea what to make of it. Sounds like what I think 'speaking in tongues' would sound like.
I am neutral towards the languages though. I don't find them particularly ugly nor beautiful, just very different.
Spanish spoken by illiterate immigrants sounds bad. But like proper Spanish sounds nice.
I donno. I don't fond accents sexy. Like broken English just sounds bad to me. But I respect yhe Eggert. Same with Spanish
In Spanish, I don't think my vowels are fucked up the way that Americans are fucking retarded at pronouncing their vowels right in Spanish. I think it is my consonants that sound crazy to 1st language Spanish speakers LOL
Also what weirds me out is the way a lot of Spanish speakers fucking lisp.
...was this supposed to be English?
I previously didn’t like the sound of German but have grown to like it. Portuguese- from Portugal or Brazil, not appealing to me and I’m around it quite often.
Those lisps you hear from Spanish speakers are primarily from Spain, Blahblah, not other countries.
Most annoying English accent by a mile to me: Australian. Or maybe it’s what they say, all seem unnecessarily long winded.
Some are worse than others. It's easier to make Spanish or Portuguese sexy than it is German.
Though the most annoying ones to me are regional English ones. I don't know anyone who can make a New Yawwwk or New Joizy accent sexy, they're fingernails on chalkboard. The East London cockney sounds like ass too, though I knew one girl (Indian-British) who made it work.
I do agree that I think the natural way I wanna say a lot of vowel sounds is shortened compared to English and Spanish, especially my ee and ea. I am also aware I cannot say "th" properly 90% of the time to save my life. My t's sound crazy to english speakers too, apparently.
At the same time, I love that most motherfuckers are physically unable to pronounce a lot of Russian words at fucking all, whatsoever. 😁
Chinese and other, related East Asian languages are tonal. Syllables can have flat, rising, falling, rising then falling, or falling then rising tone, and they all mean different things. In European languages, you use tone to express emotion (or rising tone to mean a question). The most common Chinese words have flat tone, which we use to express irritation, so Chinese speakers sound irritated to us.
Doesn't Tagalog have many similar words to Chinese?
Mexican spanish doesn't have a lisp from what I can tell. Like this news report. Butbitvwould sound harsh to other Spanish speakers
The beauty of the Spanish language is that vowels well spoken are the same every time. Mexicans and Central Americans don’t speak badly considering. In fact, “Mexican” is one of the standards for movies and international broadcasts. What you may have encountered are lesser educated individuals which can be a problem in any language.
If you listen to Argentinians with their Italian pronunciation of Spanish it can be almost irritating at first and forget the fucking Spanish. If I have to hear one more Spaniard yelling “Vale, Vale, Vale” over and over again into their phone I’m going to lose it. If you want to hear well-spoken Spanish then Colombians are your best bet.
Now be warned that Puerto Ricans have a horrible habit of dropping the final syllable off of every word. And that reminds me of a story and I like stories:
Maria was a Mexican-American from East LA and the first in her family to attend university. She got a scholarship to a University in Minnesota where she met and fell in love with a local white boy of Scandinavian descent. He asked her to marry him but she said they would need to get approval from her abuela (grandmother) the family matriarch as she was from a very traditional family.
Her soon to be fiancée wanted to make a good impression so he tried to learn a few Spanish phrases. They flew to LA and the day arrived when all of the extended family was gathered in the front room of the abuela’s house. All eyes were in the tall skinny white boy as Maria led him to her abuela. There was complete silence when the young man, in his best Spanish, introduced himself to Maria’s abuela. She just stared at him in silence. All of the gathered family watched as the young man again spoke in his best Spanish saying how much he loved Maria and wanted her blessing so they could marry. The entire room held their breath as once again the abuela only stared and did not respond.
Finally, Maria’s father broke the silence and ask his mother what was wrong. She turned to him and said “You didn’t tell me that Maria was going to marry a Puerto Rican”.
“Mama, what are you talking about. He isn’t Puerto Rican. Where did you get that idea?”
“Well, I was listening to him speaking and I knew it wasn’t English and it sure wasn’t Spanish so I assumed it must have been Puerto Rican”.
LOL. Forgive me my Puerto Rican friends but you know it’s true. jajajajajaja
"cabrone, cabrone...puta puta puta".
The illusion of a lisp stems from some king who spoke with a lisp. The nobility wanted to imitate him. The commoners wanted to imitate the nobility. It entered some dialects in Spain and later immigrants brought it to some parts of Latin America. Where its not the norm at all.
Cim is a bloviating moron as usual
Yep. That's why I put "lisp" in quotes. Because it's not a lisp. It's a function of that Spanish accent.
"The illusion of a lisp stems from some king who spoke with a lisp. The nobility wanted to imitate him. The commoners wanted to imitate the nobility."
Except that if you look up that story in any article relating to the Spanish language in Spain, you are immediately told that it's a fable. It's not true.
Well, I happen to agree but it’s not a competition, lol. I watch/listen to the following more days than not to remind me what’s important and how this story ends. It ends the same for all of us. Give it a view, 100 million other people have.

Cim work on your Google skills or better yet get an education.
With Japanese. I kinda like Japanese porn sounds
When you slur your words because you’re drunk, no one can tell that you’ve been drinking. Or so I’ve been told.
You watch porn for the story line? LOLL
