I wonder how other nations might hear English or German. My mom's relatives who are not German found German sounded like shouting at each other. When my mom was not able to understand it at the beginning she found it was very hard language. I can't remember how English sounded to me at the beginning. I always hated English with a typical strong German accent and don't even like my own recordings. I refused to learn English from my mom and sticked to German. I just wondered why English people can't understand my German when I can understand their English. I remember that I was confused when I first entered a shul in London and everybody sang Hebrew with a strong English accent. I wondered what they are singing. I knew before that you usually sing Hebrew but in a progressive shul it could have been English, too. It was Hebrew. English accent sounds maybe like row-row?
