You just need to broaden your opportunities to listen other Spanish speakers. You’ll be enchanted.

Most beautiful = French.

Most unpleasant = any Chinese dialect.

Learning German in ES built the foundation to learning English quickly in HS. Yes, German was a bit harsh for me, but the rewards of learning the language were bountiful. I appreciate my parents for that. They are not German.

I think most Americans have really only heard German through footage of Hitler shrieking.

This. I have a co-worker who speaks German to her family on the phone and I love listening to it.

My great-grandmother spoke fluent German but did not teach it to my grandmother, because of the world wars. It has always made me sad that we lost it in our family.

That's what it reminds me of too and that's why I don't!

Spanish spoken by calm Argentinians. I love it.

The hate and lies language is the harshest to hear.

When I was in Budapest, I loved to listen to people speak. Hungarian was fascinating to me and I'm not usually someone who pays a lot of attention to other languages.

Vietnamese, sounds awful.

Another vote for Brazilian Portuguese as a favorite. Hate hearing Hebrew - sounds so guttural and aggressive.

I love Brazilian Portuguese. It's got so much rhythm.

I hate the cadence of Turkish.

I love the way Japanese sounds in conversation (not so much when when they great you in stores).

You are great, hon

There is no ugly language only ugly people using ugly words.

That’s called being racist.

German here. It's called being true. Our language is harsh. But so is English.

I'm surprise no one have found this post offensive.

Just cause you don't like the sound of it does not mean it isn't music to someone's ears.
