Generally to me English sounds like a totally weird language. From my English teacher i have learned that English is just a mix of German and Latin together?? i think. Not to sure. So this isn't the best answer. The word "weird" does not say what the language actially sounds like. Here are descriptions from various non-native English speakers of the sound of English prior to their understanding of it: - like a burbling brook - like singing in any other language - like hissing interupted with consonants - very similar to the sound of Dutch - a pleasant soft singing sound
