Besides that I hate that old “German sounds angry” shit
I mean:
It’s funny because it’s true
All non-Germany speaking countries have at least 1 joke, where the point is with German language you just don’t know if it’s a new vacuum cleaner brand name, or a declaration of war.
Nice scientific approach to proving that German sounds angry.
He’s also wrong by saying that people think German is warlike and ugly because of Hitler. German neighbours (e.g. Poles) have written sources hundred years old proving him wrong (at least 1890-ish)
Edit: even older lol, Wincenty Kadłubek was implying that in ~1200
I’ve been trying to learn it for a couple years, I’m still less advanced than a small child. Shit’s pretty complicated, and I’m not sure it’s really worth learning, most Germans speak English. Would’ve been nice to have been taught it when I was a kid, but it is what it is.

Not like I perceived it. And I wouldn’t say I think Polish sounds melodic or beautiful. Maybe neighbors hated each other for centuries.
That’s true, I still sound like an American pussy when I speak it. Maybe I’ll sound angrier if/when I actually learn to speak it properly?
I’ve started learning Spanish some weeks ago just too keep me busy and I’m still having fun. Try it, maybe it’ll give you joy.
