Is English a pretty language?

I'm Belgian and a native French speaker.

First of all, it is always funny for me to hear people saying French sounds so good. Because most French speaker actually think French is an ugly language (sounds ugly I mean). We find that the "r", "in", "on", "eu", "an" and "un" French sounds are not beautiful at all. So, I'm always happy to hear that most English speakers find it beautiful.

Secondly, for most native French speakers, English is a very smooth language, very "soft" like. It has a good flow. Also, it is a "singing" language: the stresses are totally different from French to English. Where French is a rather "flat" language, English is "singing".

However, quite early in our life, we are getting in touch with English. We're not necessarily learning it, but I mean we're getting used to what it sounds like quite early in our life. So, now, it's quite difficult for me to say wether or not it really is beautiful. But I can tell you for sure that most French speakers think that English words sound better, more classy, more "YEAH"-like, if you know what I'm saying.

As for the learning process, I find English a very easy language to learn. It has very easy rules compared to French. However, English is a mix of old French, old German and some other old anglo-saxon dialects (if I'm not mistaken), that's why they are still many similarities between French and English. And so it might be easier for French speakers to learn English. The tricky part for most French speakers (not all of them) is to speak it, because the "stress system" is COMPLETELY different. Also, the English "r" and "th" sounds are often challenging for French speakers. I personally have no problem with English. I'd say the hardest thing with English is that, when you see a word written, that you have never heard, you can only guess how it's pronounced but you will only be sure once you heard it. Whereas in French, if you know the pronunciation rules, you'll be able to pronounce virtually any word you see written.

No it's germanic, a pretty language would be French, Spanish, or Italian

In my opinion, English is more like German, you know, a "business language". Not like French or Italian, because I think those languages are for romantic stuff, poems or something like that.

English isn't a beautiful language its basically a bunch of slang and its supposedly the hardest language to learn caus people dont talk how its taught

No. Maybe some accents sound nicer than others, but the language itself is weird and erratic, even phonologically. It's a mongrel language, which explains why it is both so weird, difficult to learn, and versatile all at once.

no way

only romance languages are beautiful

not just french and italian

also portuguese and spanish. They're music to my ears.

i think english is also a beautiful language without this maybe we can't communicate with each others

remember that every language has positive point

not really... its a germanic language
