I do not like German or Scandinavian languages. Too gutteral. English has enough of that. French is a soft language if spoken properly.
English is probably the only language that doesn't have any gender.... The girl.... or … The boy... If there is another language, I don't know of it.... In French we say..... La fille …. for female...…. and.... Le garcon …... for male.. Everything in French has a gender... Every object in French has a gender... La (which is the) for female and female objects … and.... Le (which is the) for male and male objects.. Most languages have a gender...
I had a good friend from Brazil who spoke Portuguese. I thought the sound was beautiful. To me it sounds like a cross between Spanish and French. Her accent, when she spoke English, was nice also.
German and Yiddish are not the same, but similar... Many words are the same and some with a different accent..
In my band, I sung in Spanish, Portuguese, Yiddish, Hebrew and English. Native speakers would come up to me, during breaks, and start conversations in their mother tongues. I knew, then, that my deliveries were accurate, but I had to tell them that I was only conversationally fluent in English. I speak some French, but not enough to converse for any length of time. My Spanish is a bit better, as my tree crew speaks Spanish. I can read and speak Hebrew, badly. My Yiddish only contains phrases I learned from my grandparents and mom. I find that straight German triggers a certain antipathy in me. Kind of weird, but maybe it's in my genes.......
I speak a fluent English and French.. I grew up in Quebec City where French is almost the only language spoken.. My Grandparents (Bubbie and Zaida) spoke Yiddish but I never learned enough to hold a conversation.. It has been many years since then as well.. I read Hebrew but I can't speak it...
My Spanish was paramedic Spanish. I got pretty good at asking and understanding the questions and answers that I needed to know as a paramedic, so sometimes my patients would get the idea that they could carry on a conversation with me, and too often, I'd get lost. I can read Spanish better than I can understand the spoken language, but I have never been fluent.
