I also like the sound of Greek and Russian

>>12345602
Finnish is literally unnatural language. It's very unpractical, nobody speaks real Finnish even in Finland. Everybody speaks different Finnish than they write. Words and sentences are literally too heavy for tongue so spoken Finnish sounds very different to formal Finnish. Finnish isn't meant to be spoken, listen to a Finn trying to speak English, it sounds even worse than Indian trying to speak English.

Regards, Finn.

>>12345602
Esperanto.

Ill get the obvious one out of the way, Latin is really beautiful.

French and Japanese as well.

Swedish and the nordic languages in general sound cute and goofy to my ear.

>>12345656
Finns are not of this world.

>>12345674
He's asking for cozyness not beauty. French is a mess.

>>12345602
Italian is comfy.

Italian and Russian
I also love the way the new york accent sounds, but that's because I watch a lot of gangster movies

non-anime japanese is very relaxing

The latin languages of Spain, Italy and France of course. There is no more expressive language or more fun language to swear in than those. I suggest learning atleast one of them using Pimsleur

>>12345602
learning Japanese, would agree.
But imo Italian and Cantonese are one notch higher. Persian, too.

For me cosy is what sounds good in a slow, low volume mumble without a lot of harsh sounds, like the way you might talk around an evening fire. I think French is perfect for this.

Houellebecq is extremely cosy to listen to to me for example:

>>12345602
as a northerner, reading japanese is great and sounds good, but actually trying to speak it yourself is completely fucking impossible

>>12345857
Meh. Too mumbleish. All the sounds mix up in a cloud. Everything sound the same. Lots of homophone words. I prefer Italian and Spanish. Clearer and more concise languages without bullshit.

>French is a mess
But spoken it's nice, puts me to sleep when the speaker has a warm voice.

>>12345875
Italian and Spanish are beautiful but I don't find them cosy. They are too pronounced and effortful, like it's work to pronounce the words. It's the sort of cloudy blur you mention that makes French so cosy.

Remote rural backwaters always have the comfiest accents with every language, probably because they are not in a rush like urbanites.

>>12345931
Jesus christ man, spanish and italian arent difficult to pronounce at all?

>>12345656
What.

regards another finn

>>12345602
French is fun to read.
German is fun to speak.
I tried learning Spanish but I didn't enjoy it.
I want to learn Arabic because I think it sounds nice.

Thank you, anon

I'm swedish but find my own language to be the most comfy, I dunno if it's cheating, but I find it has an awkward honesty that atleast english lacks

>>12345931
Italian and Spanish are easier too pronounce than French, though.

>>12346061
Outside of a few Spanish metal bands I just didn't like the sound of the language.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJcr4Yg9DMA

>>12346020
Think he's talking about speech production. How spanish and italian are loud and every syllable of every word is banged out into speech.

>>12346084
pleb

>>12346091
The beauty of Spanish is that every letter of every word is pronounced. No excess or lacking. In French you pronounce only like 60% of what's written, the language has been corrected over the ages by the French Academy to look pretty, in detriment to the actual oral language, which barely resembles the written one.

Is it true that subtitled movies in Finland have three lines of text where other languages have two?

I like gaelic a lot

>>12345678
Nice get, how did it to unnoticed

Read some Steinbeck and tell me any other language can compare to good ol' American English in terms of comfort.

>>12346122
I do admire the fact that upon reading a word, spanish speakers know immediately how to pronounce it (or at least I think they do).

But in terms of sound, it's just not as nice as some other languages.

>>12345691
Kek, such a cute video

>>12345797
Italian has to be one of the most overrated languages of all time. I strongly dislike its singsong enunciation

Dutch is the most comfy language. However, the Netherlands should be nuked.

Swiss German

>>12347767
Swiss anon here, are you Swiss too?
Everyone here is stuck in linguistic "guilt" and says our language sounds like a throat disease while still bitching about standard German and speaking it with a horrible accent.

Korean
Italian

>>12347731
It's definitely better than fucking Spanish. Italian women are divine.

>>12346527
No. Might stem from the fact that there are usually both Swedish and Finnish subtitles.

Welsh.

Chinese but only when spoken by someone with a cute voice, otherwise it sounds like shit

>>12345828
Cantonese sounds so cool

>>12346075
I plan on learning Swedish after I'm finished with Japanese
The main reason is because these are my two favourite sounding languages

Spoken Arabic is top tier cozy. The written language is aesthetic as fuck, too, although I reckon learning it is a right bitch.

>>12345678
just checking those sweet, sweet numbers

>>12345602
French is the only beautiful language.
All others are rife with disgusting gutteral sounds (Arabic), down-syndrome-feline sounds (Chinese), glue-in-mouth sounds (Hindi) and so on. Italian is too melodramatic.

>>12348037
That is fucking annoying. Hate goin to cinema cus of that.

Korean is the best sounding Asian language

>>12348330

Unequivocally false. Leave this board.

>only 4 mentions of English in this entire thread
English is the best language, and anyone proposing anything else is just trying to be unconventional for the sake of appearing cultured.

>>12345674

Not everyone speaks English as a first language.

As a Finn, unironically English language is the most pleasant sounding to my ear.

Especially spoken/read "Victorian" style English. Not "posh" accent, but just good old English. It just feels so right and sophisticated.

>>12349104

And especially this kind of English pronunciation and reading I find very comfy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMhYkkaR8HU

For Japanese I like classical and Kansai accents (old Edo talk is also fun), the Japanese spoken by young people isn't that cool

>>12345602
German is the most perfect language ever devised. Its vocabulary might sound harsh and not very pleasant, but its grammar is a thing of genuine beauty. Cold, complex, but always logical. Like a machine. It's majestic.

>>12349133
>but its grammar is a thing of genuine beauty. Cold, complex, but always logical. Like a machine.
Name a language other than German this does not apply to, along with an example showcasing why it does not.

English sounds like people talking with their mouths full of cotton. It's hideous to hear. People only learn it cause it's useful, not for it's aesthetics.

Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Persian; pretty much everything else is gay.

you know that's an American right

>>12349125
Thats a Burger, m8.

>>12349133
der, die, das randomly assigned to things literally the first thing you learn about German is that it's not logical, don't confuse compound words with complex. Its cold yeah, cold, random and unnecessary complicated, the greatest of English language, Shakespeare, will never be touched by greatest of German, whoever that might be. But you shouldn't be angry, every language is small compared to English, you need to accept that.

>>12351580
There's like half a dozen Indo-European languages among over 400 that don't have grammatical genders. Incidentally it contributes to poor syntactic variety which English is well known for. Learn some proper expressive languages and apply yourself instead of making shitty bait, bucko.

Comfy: Only Norwegian, Russian and German.
Swedish sounds weird and Danish is a pig farmer's language.

Watch videos from Dogen, learn pitch accent. You'll sound native pretty quick if you study it

Only on /shit/.

Spoken English is a soft warm bed.
Written English is the ball of centipedes you share the bed with.

>>12352610
I'd say spoken English is more like warm piss, kind of like their beer. There are worse things in the world, but it sure as hell isn't good.

>>12345602
For me it's L'shon HaKodesh

>>12349002
It will be pretty easy to start reading and writing since a lot of the word and sentence structure is similar, but the Northern Germanic languages are some of the trickiest languages in Europe phonetically.

>>12345688
this. simple, elegant, and nice sounding. much more comfy than french.

>>12349133
One thing I've learned to like about German are the cases because you have flexibility in the way you speak. Because english lost its case system we have to order our words in a much more structured way to make up for it.

There are so many things you just have no clue about until you try to learn another language.

For the record I think German is beautiful and its reputation as a harsh language is sort of a meme. I don't think it's harsh at all, or at least any moreso than english.

>>12349002
swedish should be a lot easier than german. no cases, and many words shared with english and german.

>>12345678
ALIEN FINNS CONFIRMED

>>12345602
Japanese and Finnish I can definitely agree with you on. Most likely cause of the abundance of vowels. (Thats why stuff like Czech or Russian sound so harsh, they are consonant rich).

Personally Japanese>Finnish for me in terms of how the language is structured though. Yes Japanese has a difficult writing system, but the way Finnish is structured in putting words together just makes speech seem annoying.

Plus Japanese aesthetic>>>>>all

Go back, weebtrash.

I’m Greek so I’m always going to be comfy in Greek
Though I’m learning Japanese and it’s an interesting language I have to say

>>12345602
english desu

>>12353035
I used to think Japanese was a good and interesting language too. Then I reached N2 and all of my love for the language evaporated. I wish I could remember what it was specifically that made me quit, but it was too long ago. All I know is that it had something to do with syntax.

my vote goes to Python. Very nice language.

>>12353265

I hate the Swedish language, it makes us all sound like donkeys.

>>12345678
Impressive digits, checked.

>>12345602
IMO comfiness depends heavily on what your mother tongue is.

As an American starting to learn Japanese I think it's prettty comfy cuz 1) Japanese leaves a lot implied, and 2) the Japanese are so overly formal that anything translated sounds like its straight out the 18th century.

"wa" is a lot of fun for me cuz it's such a simple idea but translating that idea into English words is like, "With respect to" or "regarding...[X]" which sounds super formal.

----

I took several years of German and how comfy it is depends on the accent/dialect/time period.... try listening to Hitler's speeches which are very articulated and harsh vs. modern urbanite German which is much more... mushy, or slurred. Modern casual German sounds a lot friendlier than formal German.
