And I still think russian is a much harsher längwidsch.
German is alright. I love to read books in german. I dont get the same feeling when I read the same stuff in english... but I still hate to watch german movies. German language sounds kinda bored mostly. And if the stuff is translated from english to german and shown in german TV i could puke everytime because you can clearly see that the person didnt say what you heard right now.
German subbing and dubbing is really bad. (still not as bad as russian... but bad!).
