How do you speak in such a language?


Every word is like an execution!

you mean German?


my mouth goes around it pretty well, actually, pronounciation wise..Dutch is probably more gutteral than German is...try Hebrew/Arabic or even 90% *beep* Hawaiian street names ..

(except Kuhio and ala Moana...those I handled)

Also eigentlich ist Deutsch eine recht schöne Sprache, wenn denn die Sprachmelodie stimmt. Aber in vielen Hollywood-Filmen, in denen "zee Germans" pauschal die Bösen sind, wird halt gerne militärisch, zackig, und meist mit einem harsch bellenden Unterton gesprochen, um die Bösen noch einen Tick böser zu machen.

Do you understand? :P

I do understand and didn't need to translate it. My German is terrible, but German and English scan together very well. However, I will say that High German is always harsh. My family speaks Swabian dialect (Donauswabian) and it does sound nice. I wish I'd learned it properly. Modern German is pretty smooth.

Easy for you to say

Deutsch sounds beautiful to me, especially spoken by women. To me, somebody speaking French sounds like an angry Klingon.
