How do beginners find English? 3
I watched this clip:
Sounds like English. But you won't be surprised because it's actually English.
Although I actually spoke Russian, I learned English at the age of 4, so I don't know what it was for me because I learned to do it. Once I got there, I started chatting with my new American family. Put it this way A French student studied French at this level for 4 years (I know it sounds very slow) and in 8 months suddenly changed to French 5. But I think Russian is rude, German is rude and French and Italian sound good. Please don't take what I said in German as an insult. Because I think it's a great language to learn, it's not the most pleasant-sounding language.
It was as if there was a knot between the British. Not a crime. Many German speakers in my area say this. This is because Upper German is more or less similar to Middle English (its vocabulary is also more similar to German). Modern English is more like Dutch or Danish.
Well, it doesn't sound like any other German language. I speak IC language and the first thing you see is the specific tone ... and the impressions you make when you pronounce them. Someone whose English is not very good will think you are weird.

I speak Spanish and because all the sounds in this language are the same, it was very difficult for us to learn the pronunciation. When we study, the spoken English is very difficult to understand because they usually speak a lot of words at once.
Spanish is my mother tongue, but I speak English well.
American English has always been very offensive to me. I try to speak more through my nose when I try to improve my tone.
British English sounds more difficult and / or slower, but I like the way they use nicknames, especially T.
The German sounds so harsh I think he barks. It's not like English.
Arach also sounds loud and has a lot of H sounds.
Sweet, cheerful, romantic Italian and Portuguese.
They made me hear Spanish voices. You think?
My mother tongue is Spanish, but I studied English in school, so I understand it well. I think it will sound like another language you don't know, like Russian, Portuguese or Finnish! The Netherlands looks tough, France looks romantic, Italy looks amazing ... Russia looks complicated ... and even more! Hebrew ... I don't know !!
Apparently, English sounds like a bunch of whistles to someone who doesn't understand because there are so many S sounds.

I have to put up with it. I once asked a Mexican and he said it sounded nonsense when he learned. He said that learning English is the most difficult. I am agree.
Every country has a different accent ... America ... there are different accents everywhere ...
