I guess I have my answer ;) I don't know Russian but I know enough Ukrainian to know you're talking about French and Italian, lol.

I said that I hate French specifically and that I regret never having learned Italian properly. In German I said that I have no problem with learning new languages if it wasn't for lack of time.

Not quite sure what you hate accoustically about French, [...]

Reading and writing French is OK(ish, if I didn't vocalize it in my head). I really hate the sound of that language. It sends shivers down my spine. I think for one thing I prefer harder/rougher sounding languages. Also, I'm an unforgiving person. We were told we can start learning a third language when we are in 7th grade. I was pondering whether to pick up Russian, Italian or Swedish. Then 7th grade comes around and the school's like: Yah, you can choose between French and Latin. Well, fuck you too school. I hate our school system for this (and other reasons) to this day.

but you seem to like German

Being German, I'm kind of stuck with it. Not that I particularly dislike it, though.

If you're comparing to Spanish (among others), I guess the overall stressing of sounds in a sentence is pretty different, too.

I dislike French, the language, not the people. I slightly dislike Spaniards, but not their language. Italian people speak loudly because they talk across the street. Spanish people do that while standing right next to each other. I think I'll never get used to that.

Also, what kind of French did you have to learn?

French French.

[...] which tends to indicate you're Canadian.

Ha! Show me one comment where I apologized ;-)
