German is overrrated

[Latinus]

It sounds harsh, but I like it.

Dutch and the scandinavian languages are better. German is not ugly, just boring.

Just listen to "Ode to Joy" from the last movement of Beethoven's 9th, and then try to tell me that German is boring. I've been singing it a number of times, and never will refuse opportunities to sing it yet again. it's like marching in an army for world peace.

I watched Inglourious Basterds yesterday and it reminded me that German sounds pretty cool. It's not as aggressive as people make it out to be.

I like German language even if I only know a few words in German such as Heil Hitler or Bayern Munich. But it sounds good and strong.

It's interesting how German sounds quite masculine, whereas Swedish sounds quite bisexual..

I disagree. German grammar is more complicated than both.

I am a native german speaker and I think this language is overrated, I mean its not a bad one, but also not very special one in my opinion; for the fact that it is not melodic and dulcet like Italian for example. You have many ways to express yourself on the other hand. Again - its not a bad language but overrated; it just sounds boring.

The only thing boring about German is, like English, the overabundance of Latin derived words. Even der Kopf comes from Latin cuppa ~ "cask."

What about Slavic and Romance languages? I'm sure they can be dissected in a similar sexist fashion.
