    Not exactly ugly, but pretty much any Romance language is better.

    I think it sounds nice when it's women speaking it. Of course i don't understand a word and am only talking about sound. For example this sounds nice to me:



    I wouldn't mind learning it, but at the moment i have no use for it. It would be just as a curiosity.

    To me the truly beautiful sounding languages are the melodic ones: like Italian.

    German does not enter there, but there is saying the language is as beautiful as the girl speaking it to you.
