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). |
That's right! English sounds good, beautiful. I like how it sounds since the first time I heard it. French sounds weird, and by no means romatic or anything. German sounds... right
I always like German and intend to take a course or two right after when I finish the basic of French
I'm only scared that I might mix them all up then.

I love French as it is a logical language with just enough grammar to remember. I like to read and contemplate the French poets. |
French is wayyyy too logical for me. Disturbingly logical while it claims to be the language of love. How ironic. So many grammar notes to remember: mon ton son, ma ta sa, mes tes ses, nos vos leurs --> 12 words. English: my, your, his, her, its, our, their --> 6 words.
In the meantime, English is fine. It doesn't have many rules, and they are to be broken
I just finished edit a long review on Goodreads, click "save" and it crashed
