What do people who speak a different language think of the English language?
For example, us English-speakers usually say that French is a romantic, nice sounding language and German is quite harsh. What do people say about the sound of the English language?
I began to learn English as a second language when I was about 9 years old. Back then I thought English was "the coolest language in the world" and I wanted to learn it as fast as possible. I even asked my teacher for extra homework
From what I remember, English sounded quite smooth and elastic. The diphtongs made it sound like you were gliding over the vowels, stretching out the words. Still it wasn't singy-songy at all, but rather a bit monotonous. It sounded like the kind of language that would be spoken by a "cool guy with sunglasses" if that gives you any idea. Smooth and slick, with a cool edge to it.
Now, when I've learned English, it sounds neutral to me. I still think it's a great language though. English has a much richer vocabulary than Swedish (my native language) and I love to read novels and poems in English. There are many great English expressions which doesn't sound half as good in Swedish.
