That was interesting ! Thank you !
Swedish or Finnish?
Finnish of course!
I don't like the sound of Swedish, it is spoken so..strange..And Finnish is more difficult to learn, and I like difficult!
Swedish is very easy I think, since I am Dutch, but only the pronouncing is not easy at all, for sofar i know.
And Finnish is a very beautiful language so: Finnish

I would not call Finnish soft sounding. Some Finns have softer voices than others.

Unless you get out of Helsinki, and go to Swedish-speaking areas, where you find that most of the peasants are the ones speaking SwedishArgan wrote:Svenskatalande är bättre folk. So if you don't want to hang with peasants, learn Swedish.
A few old ladies in mink at Stockmann don't make all Swedish-speakers that much better
Cheers, Hank W.

harsh sounding language
Kalmisto :
When I figure out where are the wires get plugged in for my speakers (tried to clean up the mess og wires under my desk and now can't remember where everything went ...), I will follow your link to hear what you hear. When I was young, though, I used to listen to my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother talk and the sounds were soft ones to my ears. German is my barometer of a harsh sound. As my mother is the only one left alive and she has nobody to speak Finn to anymore, it has been several years since I've heard it. I think I could see why it would sound monotonous compared to Swedish, however, as the limited amount of Swedish I've heard more a lilting quality to it.
