English sounds like German-lite to me. It's more choppy and harsh than the romance languages, but not quite as shouty and passionate as German.

Dutch people always sound like they're coughing up phlegm.

There's this French-speaking woman at work who is from Ivory Coast originally. I love her accent and how she speaks, it's amazing. If she doesn't hear you she'll say "par-donn?!" and she also says "ooh la la!" out loud when shocked haha.
