How did you first start to learn German?
transluzens replied to evapfromm's topic in German Language | Discussion
I started taking German my freshman year of high school. Unfortunately, I had to transfer to a new school where German wasn't offered, but I will never forget that amazing year I spent there. -
Do you think German sounds "aggressive" ???
transluzens replied to linguaholic's topic in German Language | Discussion
German dialects often contain syllables and sounds not usually found in other languages. These sounds are guttural, and lead to the speaker sounding rough, and occasionally aggressive. Overall, I think body language is most important when speaking to someone. Though German can sometimes sound aggressive, if the speaker's body language is warm and inviting, that should clear everything up. :-) -
Thank you so much for providing this website! I'm currently studying Mandarin Chinese, as well, and I've found that there seems to be a lack of sufficient resources online. This will definitely help!
