I find Danish to be a language on a high-wire, aesthetically. I think that in the wrong mouth, especially when a Dane is yelling, they sound like they're mentally retarded. I'm not being funny. I mean that. But, in a soft-spoken person, it is smooth and beautiful. No hard consonants abruptly interupting the words. The only thing I don't like about the Swedish spoken language, is the emphasis on the the last syllable. I don't understand that. But, sometimes when I learn the meaning and purpose of language's quirk that I started out dis-liking, I learn to enjoy it. Like with Danish. On cassette tapes teaching Danish, they get the speakers to be as unelegant as possible. So my initial response was "F@# this language, it's disgusting!". But... in the right mouth? Beautiful! It's an art to speak Danish without sounding retarded. And some Danes most certainly have mastered its polar opposite, as far as my ears tell me, by making it gorgeous.
