I find German to be absolutely disgusting. I can't listen to this language. It's like someone is cutting steel while scratching a chalkboard and much more. I am pretty interested in how Germans view their language. Do they realise how it sounds to foreign people? Do they hate it too? Do they get their heads ringing after a day full of listening to German? I also despise Russian. It sounds very faggoty and slicky. It also sounds pretty funny in a way. Turkish sounds funny and ridiculous too. It goes like "tiumdurudum sabadadum bunklir kulgurum" lol. What language do you find funny/annoying and why?
faggoty? did you really just call my language faggoty? Russian is one of the most intricate and complex languages. Comparing it to english is like comparing a ps3 to an atari. no i'm not exaggerating, english is a very simple language. I love english, but its very easy once you get the hang of basics. I took it in school for 7 years before i moved to u.s. And i had 0 problems. russian just has so much wordplay and such a vast dictionary. Hell, i could swear for 5 minutes in russian and not repeat the same word twice. can't say that about english. Anyway, i actually like german. I studied it for a few years, very very similar to english. Except for the sentence structure, and the fact that every noun has a sex attached to it. (like spanish or russian, so lets say a car is male and the table is male and the door is female, ya feel me? so the verbs and shit change depending on the sex of the noun.) I personally fucking despise french. I HATE the way it sounds. always wanted to learn mandarin, or japanese and arabic. I love the way mandarin and japanese sound, arabic...just because. I wanna learn spanish, but then i don't. I want to because i like the language, but i don't because all of a sudden people expect you to speak spanish, especially down here in az. I'm sorry, i moved to AMERICA i learned english. I didn't move to mexico, or el salvador. If i did, i'd learn spanish.
Just saying, English is NOT an easy language believe it or not. There are so many more rules in English than in other languages, and ask any person who study foreign languages, or languages in general. As stated German's most difficult thing is the gender nouns. Gets confusing, but German is a practical language. They say what they mean. Russian is also very interesting, and to call it faggoty, I don't even understand what that means. Russian sounds like gay people?
^^ Werd this thread sounds irrational and makes no sort of sense. I want to aspire to be multi or at least bi lingual to learn an language that is father than my own, learning an language boost your cognitive functions, increases your interpersonal intelligence when communicating with people and make you an effective listener.
I always said if I ever had a super power it would be to speak every language! With that being said I don't think I'd hate any of them, certain words I just don't like but to flat out hate a language is pretty intense. Winner of the one I find funny would def have to be click...hands down cause clicking is in general a funny sound to me.

it sounds different but yes, the sounds mingle. C'mon, German is stereotypically a very nasty sounding language. Many people agree on that. There was a meme lolol
Finnish, it sounds so fucking annoying when they talk. Finland is depressing but finnish stoners are cool though, they need more stoners in finland i mean wtf finland jalla bre,
i dont know any i hate, but russian sounds the coolest to me, and makes you sound like a total badass, even if your a skinny midget
English is not easy language? Well, not that hard really. In english language making sentences is not that hard. Timing is also easy. Czech, Slovakia language and Mandarian Chinese are hardest ones for me. Russian is not that hard language. It have alot of words from English, also some words are same as Czech words. Most strange language for me? Hmmm... probably... Turkish.
Honestly i don't think its fair to say you hate how a language sounds because with in every language(with a large enough population, and geological separation) there are accents and dialects that add different flavors to how it sounds. In some cases these accents/dialects can make the language very hard to understand to someone who speak the same language. I'm currently studing french, Spanish, mandarin, and i get hear enough Japanese from all the anime that i watch. And there are always different accents that sound pleasing and others that are very irritating. So i don't think you can just bunch a whole language into one group. I used to think french sounded extremely stuck up, but now i know that was only one accent that i had associated with the whole language. The same can be said about Spanish speakers from Spain, they sound a bit stuck up with their lisp. But that isn't how all Spanish speakers speak, so its wrong to judge a language and say that it sounds a certain way when you don't know if there is someone in the world speaking it differently. Their will always be different accents that can really change the way a language sounds(think irish, indian, ethiopian accents). And their will always be dialects that can almost completely change how a language sounds (think Jamaican). Personally i speak with two different accents of english, the local one and what i would describe as "white" (we call it yanking) for the tourist, so i don't have to repeat myself. Just goes to show how a single language can vary widely between users.
russian and english ahve very very few similar words. and it's mostly words that got into russian over the years. Like computer. Or they come from latin. That doesn't make em similar, it's just that 2 languages that utilize words from a 3rd language. And czech came from russian. Russian is one of the oldest languages, granted it has changed over the centuries of course. All slavic language SOUND similar but they're not. I have NO clue what a bosnian or a czech might be saying. Ukrainian and russian and belarussian are all very similar but that's about it. If you speak czech, i imagine russian would be easier for you to learn because of similarities. English was just very easy for ME, it was one of my best subjects in school when i lived in ukraine. hell, when i moved to u.s. i was getting a kick out of correcting americans. Or they'd ask me how to spell shit, that's always fun. Also, THE Ukraine is wrong. I used to get into arguments with history teachers. You don't say THE canada or THE france or THE russia, why THE ukraine? It's retarded.
