On 9gag I saw an interesting discussion about how people perceive foreign languages.
You can write here how these languages sound to you, even when you don't understand them
Hopefully no one will take this personally :) No offence intended
So for me
British English: aristocratic and melodic if spoken by an "old school" speaker
American English: Ok, but Texas English is just bad, sorry :)
Australian English: tAke it easy, mAte! Let's lie on the beach for a while
German: my vocabulary is about 100 words but it sounds very familiar, I almost have a feeling that I understand, even when I don't
French: too complicated.
Spanish and Italian: coolest languages for me. These are the languages of holiday, music and good food :)
Japanese: sounds like they are arguing all the time
Chinese: like Japanese, but softer
Russian: oh I love it! It's a language of extremes, same as Russians themselves. Can be hard as a rock and soft as falling snowflakes at the same time. Fantastic for expressing one's emotions.
Arabic: lots of kh sounds, rather hard sounding. Mysterious and exotic
I wonder how my language sounds to you guys. Just a random clip from a random TV show- New Year's edition, start watching after ca. 2nd minute
Be honest, I won't take it personally :)
