... with Swedish! or a language the seemed to be Swedish :D
I was in the super market when a language that my ears recognized as Swedish was talked by a couple. Was charming as hell and so melodic... Did the same happen to you, to hear a language so amazingly beautiful in a just random moment to mesmerize you?

Kind of, but I wasn't mesmerised by the pure sound of the language so much as caught up in the collective regional spirit and romanticism. I watched this video immediately followed by this video and I was hooked. The latter is still one of my favourite songs of all time.

If non-"love at first sight" moments count, my heart does skip a beat when I hear someone speaking with exaggerated Christopher Walken vowels, like this gentleman who speaks the dialect of my village.

LOLLL! is it the same language that I know? :P Would it be the same if you heard the Haagse accent instead of the Flemish? :) I like the written form of Dutch but the spoken form is processed by my ears as a mix between works in progress and a throat disease (without any offense for the language and the speakers! I'm the problem!) :) But to be fair in really little occasions I heard someone speaking a charming Dutch. I think how are pronounced 'g', 'ch' and 'ijk' makes a huge difference. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

ehm, dear moderators,
this post wasn't specific for swedish. why did you move this thread in 'specific languages'? It was a general topic. I reported an experience that I had with Swedish but someone else had with Dutch, Breton or... well? Italian, German, ? Can you please put it back on 'General Discussion'? Here (and specially with the title changed) has much less visibility. It is not how I intended this thread. Thank you in advance. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You can rename the thread yourself by editing the first post :)
Fortunately it's not THAT invisible because most people use Active topics, I think. Edited by Serpent on 28 May 2014 at 6:35pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Now I both want to learn Breton and dust off French. That's the problem with good music in any language. Edited by drygramul on 29 May 2014 at 11:49am 3 persons have voted this message useful |
