    Default Do you regard German as an ugly language?

    The reputation of the German language is not the best one. It's often regarded as ugly and difficult to learn.

    I've got the impression that a lot of people have no positive associations with the German language. Therefore, I will post a small selection from sung and recited German.

    Music:






    Theater:




    Recitation:




    What do you think?

    I don't find it quite beautiful, but it is sexually attractive.

    I think it sounds pretty neat actually, despite the stereotypes.

    I guess people who like it have even more terrible languages But you better put some video of girls talking. Females are the masters of seduction. If a language enables their speech to be seductive, then it's beautiful.

    I don't like it. Sorry. Some High German is possible to withstand, and Bavarians and Swiss can sound really nice but Standard German it is still the harshest European language. I don't mind German music though but in movies this language is totally indigestible, too harsh and stiff accent and generally cold pronunciation.

    NEIN ! Das glaube ich nicht. To my ear, German sounds more masculine than the Romance languages, as do most of the other Germanic languages. I have always found Danish to be rather feminine-sounding compared to the other Germanic languages, but, as "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.", so linguistic beauty is in the ear of the hearer.
