German is overrrated

[Alenka]

So, German is highly rated, generally? That's news to me.

[Marinus]

I really enjoy your extremely specific words for concepts and feelings such as: Drachenfutter, Weltschmerz, Waldeinsamkeit etc...

[Kraftwerk]

German sounds very militaristic.

[MustafaTekin]

German is still important, especially in central and eastern europe, in addition, people are advised to learn german if they want to study philosophy or history.

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.

Germans just need to learn to be natural and to relax a bit, German just sounds so scientific all the time, because you guys cant express yourself with out acting like you know everything most of the time. I used to hate German, but now that I speak it fluently I actually like it.

What I would give to be able to read Nietzsche in the original German..

[Tietar]

Western languages are strongly influenced by Latin, but the German is too far away. this is why almost no one wants to learn German or other north and east languages

a simple example:

English: A european cultural comunnity
French: Une communauté culturelle européenne
Spanish: Una comunidad cultural europea
Italian: Una comunità culturale europea
German: Eine europäische Kulturgemeinschaft

[Kamal900]

Nah, German is an underrated language, and I would want to learn the language someday.
