funny language comparison!

Having found a hilarious picture on the internet I feel obliged to share it with you :DIt is about "language differences" and the fact that the German language sounds horrible to people who cannot understand it. 
As I was abroad a couple of times I have heard it quite often that non-German speakers don't like the language as it sounds very harsh as well as they always think Germans are fighting with each other when they are talking! 

The picture just supports this fact and I have to admit that several words do have a nicer pronunciation in other languages like French, Italian, Spanish or English. Not only is the sound of the words better the words in those other languages are also very similar to each other. 
A good example is the word AIRPLANE (English). In Italian it is aereo, avión in Spanish and avion in French. The German word of airplane is FLUGZEUG. You can easily understand the word airplane in Italian when you are speaking French or Spanish. If an Italian is in Germany or Austria he wouldn't even be able to guess the word without knowing any German.

So just enjoy the picture(s) and have a big laugh like I had!
