Can you find a video that shows what German sounds like to non-German speakers?

So what is the point? That non English speakers don't understand it enough so it sounds like gibberish? Well guess what, their languages sound like that to me as wll

Ugly. As. frick.
Seriously, English is one of the most choppy and clunky languages in the world. Not that it is really a big deal, but think of how smooth Italian, Spanish, and even French languages sound, hell, any of the romance languages.
I've always imagined English sounds to non-English listeners like Russian sounds to non-Russian listeners.

Nah. Russian just sounds angry 100% of the time. Even when they are happy or normally conversing, the language sounds angry.
I agree English ain't pretty, but Russian is a different level.

I've always thought Russian was one of the cooler sounding languages

English is the most versatile and ever-adapting language in the world. We aren't too proud of it like the French, for example.
but in 500 years all communication will be like this and our voice boxes will have devolved into nothing..

I once convinced a girl, from Morgan City of course, that dogs from other countries bark in their native language.

I speak Spanish to God, French to men, Italian to women, and German to my horse.

A little excerpt of this poem:
English is confusing as hell, and I'm glad it's my native language.

I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through.
Well don't! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
English is confusing as hell, and I'm glad it's my native language.
