What is the ‘feel’ of English for a foreigner? Every language has a ‘feel’. Tell me how mine feels, I’ll tell you how yours feels.
>German
Earthy, cozy, mossy
>French
Airy, light, bright, superficial
>Ancient Greek
Powerful fast and supple like a bespoke sportscar
>Latin
Clunky retarded farmer language sed est harum quam maxime studui desu

English has four genders: Germanic, Latinate, Hellenic and Franco.
Each confers something different.
>>
>>221842739
Depends on which accent it is spoken with.
But overall i would say it mostly sounds «cool».

English would be cool if it was spoken with French vowels, but the schwa makes it too retarded

Like, why the fuck Edward is pronounced Edwuhd?
>>
Faggy and clownish, like a mix between Thai and French. Soft r sound, many vowels often nasalized, especially American.
>>
>>221842739
I feel English as elite, better, more intelligent, wealthy.
>>
>>221842739
autistic, mathmatical, logical, overly formal, obssesed with articles and numbers, soulless
>>
Round and yellow

>German
>cozy
German is vomit inducing.
>>
>>221842739
To me it feels like a very neutral sounding language it has parts from all European languages it feels balanced.
>>
literally the whore of the linguistic world
used by everyone from the king of england to niggas in rural america

English depends on accent
Australian accent sounds carefree.
Canadian accent sounds like a hick neighbour.
British and American are harder to concicely describe because more well known regional accents.
There are British accents that sound very arrogant and ones that sound very grounded.
New Zealand is somewhere between Australian and British

Overall feels like a dumped down Frankenstein abomination. There are no genders, no cases, general inability to make compound words, the syntax is stuck on the strict rule of subject verb object, letters don't match pronunciation, a lot of words have to be borrowed by other languages, some words like 'track' have 10 unrelated meanings that depend on the rest of the sentence.

slave language limiting your mind

british royals speak german
