Leaving different dialects aside for a moment, English sounds a lot like Dutch, Danish and, surprise, German. To me, it's all Frisian anyway.

Xaielaosaid:

This is hilarious. I often wonder how English sounds to non-native speakers.

JustSayingsays...

I always considered german to be the language of anger.
I have to protest the outfit of the german speaker, though. That is clearly bavarian. Bavarian dialect doesn't sound angry, it sounds incomprehensible.

Echoesays...

As a german, without any patriotism in me, I have to say that i'm getting sick of hearing these language comparison jokes, which are only imitating the "Hitler" style of speaking. I get these impersonations nearly everytime my being german comes up. Let me assure you that no normal german talks like that (Except when we do Hitler impersonations, which is like all the time, but only behind your backs.)

Sorry if I'm being a grump, needed to vent a little.

Shakasays...

I think the sexiest thing ever whispered in my ear was from a gorgeous German brunette. She said the German equivalent of "you dirty little slut." I'll not attempt to spell it here but holy fuck did it turn me on.

Ease up fellow German - It's just one of those things that is funny, even though not really true...

And you're not being a grump, it's called being German

Quadrophonicsays...

As a fellow fellow german I just have to say our language definitely has the capability to sound like that, while it's hard (not impossible) to speak that way in French.

For a different perspective I offer this link for everybody to hear what "smooth" german sounds like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xknFh8aZiGM

Well yeah sure it's possible to sound like that in german, but it ressembles much more the Austrian or even Swiss natural language I guess.
France has a different problem with their rebellious youth differentiating themselves with their "verlent"...
