It was just my natural perception of foreign language. On the other hand I never disliked German as many do. It sounds robotic and harsh but somehow....precise  Always disliked Arabic. For some reason it associated with the language of the land of Mordor for me, so unattractive and ugly it was. I guess it is a very personal thing, depends on your hearing. I cannot sing, so mayby I am limited in the range of sounds, though my hearing is absolutely fine (checked it 1 year ago). |
I like English for its variety of meanings; more than Dutch will ever have. German is for me the language of Goethe and Weltschmerz. I also speak Schweizerdeutsch.
I love French as it is a logical language with just enough grammar to remember. I like to read and contemplate the French poets.
