German doesn’t sound aggressive to me. Strong at times, but not particularly hard, or aggressive.

I'm like Claudia repeating every sentence on Duolingo lmao

The German likes French
The French likes Spanish
The Spanish likes German
And the English is just there

I think the reason why German can be perceived as aggressive, aside the obvious stuff like most people growing up hearing the language first badly shouted by English actors with horrible accents in bad world war 2 movies, is that we have clear pauses between words in our speech which is in some other languages only used as an overemphasization of every single word when people are scolding someone

Okay, those subtitles need to be fixed. I have a suggestion, why don't you let the speakers in the video write the subtitles together? Claudia does her parts, Ellena does her's etc... Because as the subtitles are now, they are so wrong that it's starting to be really distracting and thus the whole video becomes less enjoyable to watch.

I feel like the people that say German sounds aggressive have only heard German that one day in history class when the teacher put on the video of Hitler screaming. I'd say it sounds no more or less aggressive than English does. English and German even share several words and phrases.

Whoever does the subtitles needs to get their ears checked.

[toni]

if you wanna shorten the german phrase for "nice to meet you", you can say "freut mich".

[BeatrizGalanPando]

To the person who writes the subtitles ... Thank you for your effort, your work must be very difficult and I appreciate it very much 💖 But, please, forgive me if I sometimes laugh because your transcripts are sometimes very funny and they manage to make me smile even if I'm having a bad day 😅😊😉

5:50 German Girl: "Lass mich in Ruhe"
Subtitles: "bitte lassen Sie mich allein"
Spanish girl: "Lass mich onabugua" :D

This was so wholesome! These four had great energy together, and German actually sounds very cute. It sounding aggressive is a dumb stereotype.

[deanmcmanis]

I'm not sure that the German sounds aggressive, especially coming from friendly Ellena. But German words and sentences can be very long. The pacing of the conversation in this great group is fun to watch, but when you are actually trying figure out the words of full phrases, it can be pretty quick/short to catch everything. Especially with the creative subtitles. I know a little Spanish and French, but what I understood was not always matching up with what I read, which makes me doubt what I know. I think that there are many different ways to phrase things. From what I saw in Spanish and French it looked like there were similar sentences in English to express the same idea, but it depends on formality and age of the speaker, casual or traditional conversation. Younger people may have a short, quick, casual statement or reply. But people of all ages may also speak casually and briefly among friends, family, and co-workers.

Good video, but the subtitling of French is a bit off. First, her name is "Soledad", not Soly (0:13). At 2:25 she says "Enchanté de vous rencontrer" (or "enchantée" considering she's a woman) instead of "enchanté de faire votre connaissance" (which is correct, though). At 2:51 she says "N'importe quoi ! " instead of "absurdité" (which is completely off). At 3:10, she says "Comment ?" instead of "como" (which is spanish if you add an accent on the first "o"). At 4:37, she says "Je suis énervé(e)" ("fâché" would be correct too). At 5:15 she says "Tu as de très jolis (instead of "beaux") yeux". At 5:45 she says "laisse moi tranquille" (instead of "laisse moi seul" which is more into a melancholic mood). Spanish and German too are sometimes mistranslated. Still, I love this content.

Germany is the most beautiful and nicest language I have ever heard

[TinaMartinez]

It makes me so sad when people say German sounds aggressive. Every language can sound aggressive if you speak it with a certain tone of voice. Certain dialects might also sounds harder. I like German and wish more people would want to learn it.

I’m living for these series they all lovely people to be around !

[Nutzernamea]

1:02 They seriously wrote "idiot" instead of "wie geht's" in the subtitles, lmao :D:D:D
