A Mongolian said that Japanese sounds like children talking.

I don't think passive is the correct word. They come across as passive but that is just a facade teby wear to keep their society well oiled and smooth running. They do multiple calculations to ease away friction and they have a huge sense of self responsibility. Compared to the US, it's really refreshing yet they expect the same from you.

SJWs in Japan would be laughed out of town or treated as the ignorant children that they are.

I have found French, if spoken fluently, to be very sensual while also very snooty and condescending. Have found Hebrew to be somewhat archaic in conjugation and arrangement.

I agree regarding the French! Reminds me of the British accent, which I think is very sexy, but there seems to be some uptight snobbery there. The Aussie accent accomplishes the same sexiness but feels way more easygoing.

So how do you think your perception of Hebrew is reflected in Jewish cultural stereotypes/behaviors?

Ugg, most British accents are ugly as sin. There is not a singular accent, even in a relatively small area. Some British accents are so messy they need to be subtitled on TV.

The one we most hear outside of the UK is often is the 'Received Pronunciation' accent and the accent taught for broadcasting also known as the "BBC accent". We get a bit of the lower-class London for Movies, but it is very toned down. Or old cockney, if you want to hear more of the real thing watch 'Eastenders', a soap set in London's east-end in the late 20th century.

I like the Kiwi Accent, especially the way women say 'yes'. ;)

My annoyance with Hebrew stems from the conjugation and sentence structure. Instead of saying "The fat, black dog is sleeping," you have to structure the sentence like this: "The dog, black, fat, is sleeping." It's very confusing.

As an English speaker, all German sounds like murder.

Bayrisch is nice, technically a dialect of German, but really almost another language.

It is subtitled when spoken in German shows as an example of how different it is.
