To some people, German sounds harsh and French sounds softer and ... well ... fancier in a way. So what do foreigners think of the English language?

And...American is not a language.

My partner, who is a native Mexican and to whom the English language is secondary, firmly believes that the English language is very cold, precise, and practical, not to mention lacking ANY passion for life in ANY way. She also believes that English is perfect for a business transaction, but lack the passion and beauty of the Romance languages.
There is a saying in Spanish that translates to this: I love you in English, Ti Amo in Italian, and the depth of My love for You I will tell You in Mexican (Spanish).

I'm from America and that's the language that I speak I never had any luck speaking speaking correct English if it wasn't for spelling check I think you would not be able to read this enough to understand what I'm writing about so I would say a mild sound
