As for beautiful languages I like Swedish and Norwegian as I find them very musical. I also like the Italian and english with a scottish accent is awesome.

Polish is damn annoying. It sounds exactly like Russian and when I hear it, some familiar patterns are instantly triggerred in my brain, but I can't comprehend a word of what is said.

Polish is more feminine and smooth.

Spanish is the most beautiful in my opinion, and curiously Spanish is related (so I understand) to Arabic. Go figure  ;) .

 

 

Where the heck did you take that from? :blink: Spanish is in no way related to Arabic. It's essentially modern latin, so to speak. Just like Italian, French, Portuguese, Galician, Catalonian and so on.

Polish is waaaaaay away from russian  :blink:

I meant the way it sounds. I always hear English now, but when I hear Polish I subconsciously think that I must understand it, but I don't.

 

PS

Russian is still closer to Polish than English or German. I can even read in Polish a bit even though I've never learnt it.

They're about as similar as Scottish and Irish.

I have taken year in Latin. It is a fun language for the most part. Tried to learn German but it didn't mesh to well, but Old English was kickarse. I would have to say the worse sounding language I have dealt with is Hebrew. One of my gamers in my group speaks a lil' Hebrew and it sounds like he is coughing up a lung each time.

rumor has it that english is one of the hardest languages to learn. the grammar rules have too many exceptions, which fails logic.... whether or not that correlates to sounding nice or not is beyond me given that it is my native language.

 

i personally dig germanic languages and, at one point, could read and write german rather well (spoke it so-so). nothing hotter than some chick with a thick german accent and tight bu... er, never mind. :blink:

 

my son is learning spanish, which should be good for living in colorado.

oh, as for worst sounding languages... dunno. i'd have to think about it. slavic languages, though similar in sound to harsh germanics, seem awkward at times... hard to say if it is a "bad" sound, however.

No rumor. True :blink:

 

I'm French(Canadian) by birth. By 5 I was bilingual French/English. Never seemed hard to me.

 

It's not really the language, I love english but that southern accent in the US... Makes me want to shoot someone. You know those accents from Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, South Carolina. Eeww.

Children have incredible ability to learn. Difficulty of learning a language can be determined when grown up.

Since some people actually don't believe me (the nerve!) when I say that finnish is, by far, the ugliest language, I'm going to provide a little treat for you. Not only will you be able to hear the finnish language in all its glory, you will also be able to observe the latest finnish fashion and you might even learn to dance finnish disco!

Im pretty sure arabic is the hardest to learn, other than the grammatical difficulties, words have "Harakat" which affects how its spoken and which letters are stressed, etc. Its also difficult to write because letters have different forms on their place in a sentence. In addition to this there is a letter that can't really be pronounced by non-arabs.
