It took me a while to realize that my mom (Korean, from Busan area) was on the phone having a conversation and not a heated argument. Literally sounded like screaming at times.

Kinda unfortunate because if Americans understood the Hitler speeches they’d know he’s a whiney bitch who sounds just as stupid as Trump with just as much of a victim complex.

English insults are like “How’s your day, love?” and the other lad is positively miffed on account of how you pronounced it.

I don’t like the stereotype (and it is just a stereotype) of German being a ‘screamy’ language. As a Dutchman who also speaks German, it’s a perfectly pleasant language to me in 99% of the cases (but then I think it’s beautiful anyway, hence why I learnt it). There’s nothing inherently ‘screamy’ about German.

Though I have to admit that when I do hear it being screamed in, it immediately triggers associations with that period in history like I was there myself. I blame movies.
