<p>Do any foreign languages kind of annoy you when you hear them? I mean, not to the point where you can’t stand it or anything that bad, but just kind of annyoing I also don’t mean all the time too.</p>
<p>This thread probably sounds really bad, but I am just wondering.</p>
<p>Yes, they do. On one level I think they’re kind of cool, but if people are talking around me in a language I don’t understand I get pretty annoyed.</p>
<p>I also absolutely despise learning them.</p>
<p>They can be annoying , but English is a really hard language to learn because of all the spelling exceptions !</p>
<p>Portuguese does. I speak Spanish, and Portuguese sounds like some strange love child of Spanish and French to me.</p>
<p>I think Chinese gets to me the most.</p>
<p>For example, on the bus back to my apartment the other day I was basically sitting between 3 Chinese girls having a conversation. Now, 3 girls rambling on about something stupid and pointless is normally bad enough, but it was even worse in Chinese.</p>
<p>English.</p>
<p>I don’t want to know about your issues, thanks.</p>
<p>I love languages and speak/understand a few. However, I absolutely can’t stand German because the language just always sounds so angry.</p>
<p>French also gets on my nerves. Not sure why for that one.</p>
<p>I guess I’m the only one, but no, foreign languages do not annoy me. I like listening to another language because it fascinates me hearing a form of non-material culture. I love languages especially from the middle eastern and europe areas.</p>
<p>^I second that. I love foreign languages. Some are more pleasant to the ears than others, but they’re all fascinating.</p>
<p>I love hearing/learning foreign languages. I guess it’s because I used to live in such a multicultural area and really got used to it, and now I live in a backwoods kind of area. I feel more at home in non-English speaking areas/countries honestly.</p>
<p>I love hearing foreign languages. I live in NYC and hear foreign languages all the time and I always get excited hearing French and Korean because I can actually understand what they’re saying as long as they’re not going on some rant or talking about something like theoretical physics.</p>
<p>European languages always fascinating to hear. I guess some people don’t like branching out of their cultural comfort zone though…</p>
<p>Actually, English annoys me very much, especially English spoken with grating or whiny American accents. This is coming from an native English-speaking American. It’s a breath of fresh air when I get to listen to a beautifully-spoken foreign language for a change.</p>
<p>I love listening to foreign languages, especially German (I’ve studied the language for about 5-6 years, and I think it’s great).</p>
<p>Hebrew is the worst: it sounds like people coughing up chicken bones in their throats.</p>
<p>Nope. Numerous members of my family speak different languages and i’ve just grown up with it. I personally want to learn to speak at least 1 foreign language. Maybe french or italian</p>
<p>Vietnamese. It’s my family’s language and I can speak it, but most people who speak this language sound like a cheese grater, my family included. Rarely have I heard anyone speaking this language that didn’t sound rough or scratchy.</p>
<p>When people speak Chinese around me cos like everyone speaks Chinese for some reason, I feel lonely, cos nobody speaks Italian for me to talk to outside of class :/</p>
<p>I’m a French double major and I plan on studying German and Spanish while in school. I love languages.</p>
<p>They don’t annoy me, but I do get very frustrated with my lack of communication skills.</p>
<p>I only hate that I can’t understand enough to call myself bilingual in Indonesian or French. I like learning languages, mainly Indonesian, French, and Hindi. Maybe Arabic one day (I’m a failure Muslim haha)</p>
