On paper it looks harsh, but when spoken it doesn't sound that bad.

Slightly related note, have you ever heard a German girl try to say squirrel? It's so adorable!

Especially when it's capitalized, boldened and typed in size 14 font. And next to a vibrating avatar.

Maybe not harsh, but certainly a lot more guttural than french or italian.

That's mostly because they sound singsongy though <_<

Define "harsh".

Also, I'm taking German this year anyway.

I don't see the problem with it. It's just said like "Floog-tsoyg"

but like napalm said, it looks so harsh

i mean, compare it to airplane in other languages

in pretty much every romance language it's avion

in russian it's samolet

in czech it's letadlo, slovak lietaldo and slovenian letalo

in lao it's heubin

in albanian it's aeroplan

in finnish it's lentokone

and in welsh it's awyren

none of those are as angry looking as flugzeug

well, i guess it's better than the hungarian word for airplane

Another good example is what screaming in a language sounds like, English sounds hilarious OI YE FOOKIN BONGER etc, American just sounds annoying - YEEHAW, Russian sounds drunk and ready to enact violence *stereotypical russian shouting* and then you have french HONHONHON or Welsh (Angry welsh accent is side destroying) but we get to German....

Again, I don't see how it's harsh. What I do see, however, is somebody deliberately making it bolded and all caps trying to make it look harsh, which is pretty fucking annoying to be honest.

Looks like I've found your sore spot; joking about German

This.

If you don't fucking shout, it sounds perfectly fine. Any language sounds harsh when you shout.
