Most of the German syllables are hard or are pronounced with the back of the tongue. This is very different compared to most Romance languages.

On the other hand, most people only hear German in the movies. And the Germans in the movies are almost always Nazis, evil doctors, or some other authority figure. If you listened to real Germans speaking on a TV show you found on a major video streaming website, you will hear what Germans really sound like. You might even listen to some German children speaking. It's actually not so angry sounding when you hear regular people speaking the language.

Do German people speak fast or slow?

German speakers speak no faster than the speakers of other languages. It often appears that foreign language speakers sound as though they are speaking fast because the "listener's ear is untrained" and the listener is not used to people speaking the language fluently/naturally. As their experience of the language grows they become more accustomed to hearing the language spoken the speed and pitch sound more natural.

Do German and British accents sound the same?

not really, since a Brit can certainly recognize a German accent of a German speaking English. However, to an American, some words spoken by a German may very well sound British. This is because many Germans learn English from teachers who are from England (or they practice while traveling to England).

What does the German umlaut do to a word's pronunciation?

The Umlaut indicates a change in the sound. In the case of a it indicated a change to e. With o and u it indicates a rounding of the lips to produce a different sound. Note that, strictly speaking, Umlaut refers to the change in the sound, not to the dots written over the vowels. (Incidentally, there are traces of the same process in English, for example: man - men, also in the pronunciation of any and many.

How does the German language sound to people from foreign countries?

I always thought the German language sounded lyrical, but many people have referred to it to me as sounding like someone gargling a mouth full of marbles. Never got that. It can be guttural, much of the pronunciation is in the back of the throat and on the back of the tongue, but when a native speaker of German speaks, especially women, it is fluid and sounds almost like music to me.I believe the German language might sound a little heavy and thick to other foreign countries. The reason is because German-born people were known to be bigger and sound more tougher in a way. If you are not German and you ask a German person, "Wie geht's?", you will always sound much more slower than a native German who has lived there their whole life and knows the German language like you know the back of your hand.By the way, if you were to answer "Wie geht's?" then you would most likely say your name or"Ich heisse (insert your name)". To say, What day is today? in German "Welcher tag ist huete?" All "Js" in the German language will sound like "Ys" and all "Ws" will sound like "Vs". JUST A HINT.
