calling all arabs and americans

[Arab]

just wanted to start a mini arab community on this forum. anyway i had a question to any non-arabs, what does the arabic language sound like to you?!! ive always wondered!! does it sound strange?? or does it sound 'free-flowing'?? please tell!!!!

hihii ! yeah, so, it sounds like .. offputting imo but not in a weird unnerving way ?? more like , different lol

[Arab]

ohhh cool, what sounds stand out the most that you don really hear in other languages?? im very curiousto know

[piercetheviolet]

itsunique in its own ways, like, for instance spanish is very characteristic, and russian/etc. is more heavy nd consistently sounds like ur angry, yk?? i cant exactly pinpoint Arabic tho

thx for the insight! as a native arabic speaker ive always wondered that. i think its fair if i tell u what english sounds like for arabs, or at least me: its VERY 'errr' sounding, kind of like somone constantly saying 'grrr' but without the g. its hnestly hard to describe
