How do I sound?

Have you ever noticed that there are some languages that are just better for saying some thing then others, especially if you don’t speak those languages? For instance if you’re really angry and need to be as fearsome as possible getting your feelings across, you might consider German or Russian. If you want to make a point people won’t soon forget then Dutch and Greek may be a good choice, since they both tend to leave the listener in fear that something is going to get sprayed with the words.

This may explain why France isn’t taken very seriously when they get mad. The language is just too pretty sounding to ever think you have to worry about something. Italian is kinda the same way. Although it’s very expressive and you will certainly know if they’re pissed someone off, if for no other reason than the sign language, the problem with Italian is that even when you know they’re made, it sounds so great you’re like, “Do that again, I liked it!”

Any native speakers of these languages out there, sorry if I offend, it’s not my intent.

I wonder how our language sounds to others. Are we a good language to use when you’re angry, or is it sweet sounding, is it interesting at all? Maybe we just sound like ducks quacking.

Quack, quack!!!
