About sounds; I read recently that Arabic languages has 3 wovel sounds, Spanish has 5, English has 14, German has 21 - and Danish has 24 or 25. It's no wonder that it can be a difficult language to learn.

Wow, my IPA chart shows 28 vowel sounds all together! I'm sure I can't identify all my 14, let alone distinguish or produce them all. BTW, Italian has the same 5 vowels as Spanish, all open-throated, which is why everybody likes to sing in Italian. The hardest part for English singers is to keep the vowels pure.
