i thought spanish and greek are from same family. like some roman shit.
if not, then italian (not that hard accent meme) sounds like greek
>>61001297
I attempted to learn Mandarin and found it extremely difficult with all the different tones for the same word.
Any of the languages with latin roots are infinitely easier due to thier structure.
>>61001297
I can see how some people can confuse Thai, Vietnamese, and Cantonese even though all three are from completely different language families.

Well, Portuguese from Portugal is notably slavic in sounds, for some reason. Much more, hm, consonants? Like, Brazilian Portuguese in comparison feels like it emphasises the vowels, diphtongs and all that much more.
Chinese and Dutch
Turkish and Greek
Come at me.
Not so much that I can't tell them apart since I speak Italian a bit (and French speakers can pick up some Italian anyway, regardless of their knowledge of the language), but Finnish and Italian seem to have strangely similar phonologies.
Like I remember some thread on /int/ long ago about this, where a bunch of Finns and Italians traded vocaroos and were surprised that they could do very good accents in each other's languages.

Gaelic and the language from the Sims
french and arabic
>>61008301
And then there the phrase that means 'look at the sea!' in Finnish and 'look they're shitting!' in Italian
'Katso meri...' something.
swedish and arabic
>>61008282
Their 'h' (as in 火) sounds really nice tbqh
Hindi and English actually

"Katso merta" and "Cazzo merda". The first means "Look at the sea", the second means "Dick shit".
>>61009479
>merda
>>61009509
What?
>>61009527
Nothing, I just like this word. I use it a lot.
Japanese has a certain "vibe" that reminds me a lot Classical Latin.
>>61002627
>>61001297
Modern Greek does resemble the Romance languages for me too.
The thing is, Greek coexisted with Latin for some time, so it end up suffering mutations quite similar to the Romance languages.

Lisbon Portuguese sounds Slavic due to a bunch of coincidental sound changes. Allowing end-syllable SH sound, vowel reduction, even Ы.
And ironically, there is a Slavic-influenced accent near where I live, but it sounds nothing like Slavic languages... people just mock the fact they often merge "weak R" and "strong R" into a Polish-like R. ("Não sai narua guri, o caro core por cima!")
>>61009479
Cazzo means faggot actually
>>61010467
No, it means dick. Faggot is "frocio" or "ricchione".
>>61010467
Nope. Cazzo is dick.
For faggot, you might use frocio, feno, finocchio... even mona (pussy) depending on the context.
>>61010760
Feno and mona are Venetian, not Italian.
>>61010858
Fuck, my bad.
I've heard multiple people say that before they knew english, they thought it sounded like arabic
No idea where that comes from
>>61010760
>mona (pussy)
That is why she smiles?
>>61010858
And 'Mona' is a Swedish female name. The circle is completed.
