While I'm at it, I'm gonna say right now that if you think German is a "harsh" or "ugly" language, it's because you've never heard actual German being spoken in regular conversation and have only heard Hollywood German
Actual German is a beautiful, fun, inventive language that, yes, does have more fricatives than English, but the act of speaking it is incredibly fluid and dynamic, not at all harsh
@witchfynder_finder the person i knew who spoke german in school said basically exactly this every winter
@Lady That's because it's one of the best German words
