I like the sound of Welsh, Greek, Finnish and Japanese.
I don’t understand why people like French. It sounds too mushy and phlegmy to me, and all those horrible nasal sounds…
I like any non-American English language and especially the ones where I have no idea what they are saying which is why Mexican Spanish and German would be my least favorites as I understand a lot of the words being said.
Mt actual vote goes to Castilian Spanish
Japanese sounded pretty to me before I learned a fair deal of it. Now it just sounds normal.
I like lyrical Chinese, like poetry or song, but I am not a huge fan of the standard spoken language.
Thai to me sounds like the aliens from Mars Attacks!
I like Italian and Icelandic.
When I lived in Spain there were a large number of Senegalese immigrants and I really loved the sound of the language they spoke to each other. Looking it up, I see that Senegal has a number of native languages, so I have no idea what language I was actually hearing. It just sounded very round, like bubbles floating up through water.
I also like Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish (especially Argentinian Spanish).
Fans of Russians speaking English should watch Rounders, the accent John Malkovich does may not be 100% accurate but it is very pleasing to my ears.
It most certainly does. Lao is a softer version of Thai though; it’s not bad at all.
Chinese, any dialect, sounds like two roosters fighting near a live microphone with the amp turned up to 11.
The wife likes Italian. She’s fascinated with the way Swedish sounds, but I’m not sure she “likes” it. Myself, I think English sounds great :D. But I also enjoy listening to French, German (has to be the right speaker though), Spanish, Hawaiian, Malay and Nepali.
I don’t know if it’s still on and can’t check at work, but rne used to have a program in Ladino and you can listen to their programming through their website (no location restrictions last time I tried to do it from abroad). Music, poetry, news, history… I think the program was called Sefarad.
German is too gutteral sounding. I like French from France not French-canadian french as well as Italian.
It depends on the region. Some are more guttural-sounding than others. I like the Swiss accent.
