老外对中文的评价
导语：老外对中文的评价?汉语是上帝的语言11月14日最新消息，外国人看汉语简直就是天书，只有上帝能够理解。1. Chinese is the most widely spoken and fastest growing language in the world.1、中文是全世界使用最广泛且发展最快的语言。中国的汉字，中国的文化，外国人你永远搞不懂![法]约翰逊评价中文：汉字的古形是既意味着观念又象征的暗示具体事物的绘画，中国人自如地使用汉字，说明中国人的精神仍固守于具体的事物，同古代绘画文字时代几乎没有什么不同。可以说，在文字中包含着国民类型的中心性质。
老外对中文的评价
外国人看汉语简直就是天书，只有上帝能够理解。
我在网上看到一组外国人怎么评价中文的讨论，很有同感，转帖下来与同胞们共了解：
当一个人听不懂别人人在说啥的时候，
表现是： 希腊语：“μουφαινεταικινεζικο”(听着就跟汉语似的)
俄语：“Этодляменякитайскаяграмота.”(对我来说这就是个汉语文献)
波兰：“To jest dla mnie chinszczyzna!”(你讲的汉语吗?)
希伯来语：“Nishma c'moh sinit!”(它听起来像汉语!)
罗马尼亚语：“Parca e Chineza!”(看着像汉语!)
塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语：“To je za mene kineski.”(对我来说这是汉语)
保加利亚语：“Tova za mene sa ieroglifi.”(我看这些像象形文字)
法语：“C'est du chinois pour moi.”(对我来说这就是中文)
高远 我刚到法国的时候，去法语联盟学法语，有一位哥伦比亚的同学，对我说“中文就是日文吧?”我听了满肚子不高兴，中文怎么会是日文呢?日文里有中文，日文是从中文学的还差不多。我当时法语不灵光，解释太完善。后来我才知道，不少外国人都是这样的认为的，以为中文就是日文，或者中文取自日文。 当时老师极有经验，他让我和另外一个日本同学，各自说“你好”，并在黑板上写下来。这位老师深谙中国文化，讲中文的历史，声韵、发音和汉字由来。外国同学们听完说了，中文真难，看每一个就像看一副地图，四声太难了。 在法国时间长了，生活中就会发现，法国人遇到听不懂的话，往往会半开玩笑得说“你讲的是汉语吧?”
老外对中文的评价
1. Chinese is the most widely spoken and fastest growing language in the world.1、中文是全世界使用最广泛且发展最快的语言。
我知道基本上你找到的每篇关于学习中文的文章都会把这作为第一个理由，但确实如此。如果你想去学一门外语，干嘛不学全世界四分之一人口正在使用的呢?你可能会想：我可从来没打算去中国哦。
外国人在中国的生活现状
但是你可能要去新加坡和台湾啊，这俩地方也到处说中文啊。不仅如此，中国人全世界到处都有啊，比如加拿大啊、澳大利亚啊美国啊。在美国的很多州因为西班牙裔人口很多，人们都会学西班牙语。那难道和你的华裔邻居聊聊天不好么?
这还不包括留学生们，调查统计显示，在英国中国留学生占据了所有国际学生中的19.8%，尽管他们在英国也会练习英文，但是一句你好或谢谢也可能会让他们有一点宾至如归的感觉啊。
现在美国的很多学校也开始教中文，因为这些孩子们未来可能会用到这门语言(哪怕只是一点点)事实就是，中文正在变得越来越流行，不是我吹，每天在我们网站上，都有大一波人喊着说“教我说/读/写中文吧”“我怎样才能学会中文呢”“我该从何开始学起呢”.

2. To Be able to Travel in China Without Accidentally Ordering Dog Off the Menu.2、可以在中国旅游而且不会不小心点到狗肉
很郁闷，每次到中国必然碰到的一件心塞事就是：一碰到吃饭我就变得很龟毛。因为我现在只能说一点中文口语，别说念菜名了，除非是跟中文比较好的人一块儿，我最终都是指着图片点菜完事儿，要不然就直接不去那些我点不了菜的饭店了。
别逗你自己说“中国有很多地方的人都会说英语啊”。你要是体验过真实的中国，就知道基本没有好不好!就算在深圳这样的大城市，很多人也压根不会说“hello”和‘Look Missy’(深圳人还说这个?)之外的英语，我不是在吐槽任何人，我觉得既然我住这儿了就有责任学中文。
另一方面，任何一个会说英语的人基本都带着超越自我的兴奋之情竭尽所能地帮助你(这句我也不知道有没有翻译对，请大神指教)。当然我还是那句话：别指望这个了，至少学点基本的中文吧。
3. To Understand Chinese Culture and History3、了解中国文化和历史
老实说，我觉得要想充分了解中国的文化和历史，你就要学会中文。我不是说你要读懂孔子的书才行，但是有些东西你用英语说起来完全没意思，反而感觉很困惑且不满。
可一旦你开始掌握了最基本的书面中文，你就会开始明白其中的内在联系，然后更加理解中国社会和他们的精神世界。你会了解到另一种文化观。

4. Because Chinese is Quickly Becoming the Language of Business (and Tourism)4、因为中文正在快速成长为一种商务(及旅游)语言
外国人体验中国文化
现在越来越多企业不仅在中国生产商品，也想在中国市场分一杯羹。最近一批企业家想在这儿做单轮自行车，而且很自信地认为他们的东西会卖得很好。 米尔军事论坛 bbs.miercn.com
深圳有一大波独自闯荡的歪果仁在寻找在中国做进出口生意的机会，这是赚钱的事儿啊，尤其我们还离香港那么近。中国人现在境外旅游也愈来愈频繁了，特别是到美国、澳大利亚、日本、泰国这些地方。
如果你从事旅游行业，说点中文伺候这些爱花钱的土豪们绝对是非常有必要的。如果你是做旅游的而且考虑学习中文，可以点击查看我们的旅游频道页面哈。
5. There Are Plenty of Resources And Mobile Apps to Help You Learn Chinese: So No More Excuses!5、有很多资源和移动APP可以让你学中文：所以别再找借口了!
现在有很多好的资源让你学中文，旅行的时候不管纸质书还是电子书都很管用。线上课程也很受欢迎，还有博客啊，视频啊，音频啊都有新的教学方法让你可以从真正的中国学生或老师那里学到中文。
其中移动端APP可以说是未来发展的方向的，可以给你海量的选择!(这也是我强烈推荐的方式，你真的没理由不学了。。。)

6. It’s Good Exercise For Your Brain6、学中文对大脑是很好的锻炼
外国人体验中国文化
研究人员认为，学中文可以开发你大脑中学习别的语言不能触及的领域。因为中文在音调、文字等方面跟英文大不相同。据说学中文会更费脑力，因为说英语的人通常只会用到左脑，而说普通话的人左右脑都会都用到。
若你选择学习书面中文，那么汉字书写对于运动技能很有帮助，视觉辨认也会让思维更加敏锐。相对于只会说单种语言的人，很多会说双语的人也被认为在主次先后和多任务统筹方面更加擅长。
所以说，如果你想让你的大脑保持灵光、当一个数学天才(相较于说英文的小孩，中国小孩的数学理解能力简直超强)，或者让自己井井有条，那中文绝对是你该学的语言没错!
7. More Job Opportunities7、获得更多工作机会
很公平地说，越来越多歪果仁到中国找工作了，比如当老师或者做生意。虽然学中文并不是教学的必备技能，但它对于你拓展校方、学生家属的关系大有好处(只要你让他们家小孩开心，父母们就会爱你到永远，或者至少爱你到跳槽)。
如果你真是诚心学中文而且通过了汉语水平考试，这绝对是你未来履历中浓墨重彩的一笔。随着中国的电子商务和纺织、石化等业务在西方市场的逐渐扩张，中国现在计划将“中国制造”这一称呼扭转成为一种正能量。
外国人在中国的生活现状
在每个产业领域，(我们)和中国人一道来达成这些目标，将势在必行。
8. It’s a cool, interesting language – nuff said!8、这是种很酷、很有趣的语言!——已经说够了
外国人体验中国文化
学中文的时间越多，我就对这本语言愈加好奇和着迷。当我学习新汉字的时候我的思路正在逐渐扩展;我知道同样一个字可以被用到不同的词汇中(两个汉字构成一个词);或者当你光是看这个汉字的偏旁部首就猜到它的意思，当你恍然大悟的一瞬间，那真的是超赞!
我不是唯一有这种感觉的人——越来越多人纯粹是为了好玩。确实就这种享受而言，你不能去责怪他们。学中文是个挑战，有时候你把一个字写上一百次，那简直是逼疯人的节奏。
但是如果你能坚持下来，你就会认识到这真的是一门很棒的语言。老天啊看看那些汉字吧，有些字就像一幅画而不是一个词。我整个人都震惊了。

Best Answer - Chosen by AskerI personally enjoy Cantonese and Chaozhou dialects of Chinese. Cantonese is enertaining to listen to because the tones make it appear as a sort of "boingy" nature to the way it is spoken. Chaozhou, in my opinion has an interesting variety of tones that make it appear like the speaker in singing. Mandarin can be rather harsh on the ears, depending on where you’’re coming from. I personally dislike the Beijing accent (wondering where the "r’’s" came from xD), I however enjoy the Jiao Liao accent from Shandong.
Japanese seems to me rather dependent on the speaker. I have heard bubbly and energetic speakers of the sort, along with monotonous and monologues of speakers represent their language in a variety of ways.
Korean is probably very interesting to hear for a non-Korean speaker. You will notice a lot of patterned particles to their phrasings "eem-nee-dah, ahm-nee-da, soh-yoh, etc. etc." Along with a jumbling of syllables that are otherwise unintelligible to the general listener.

I’’m choosing your answer because it seems you put a lot of thought and time into it :)
最好的回答:
我个人很喜欢广东话和潮州话，广东话听起来很有趣，它的声调听起来很有弹性，这是这种方言的一种口音。
潮州话在我看来有着很多有趣的声调，这听起来就像在唱歌。普通话对听力要求很高，这取决于你来自哪里。我个人不是很喜欢京腔(怪异的儿化音的出处)，不过我很喜欢山东的胶辽官话。
日语视乎更取决于说话的人，我听过说话听起来活泼而且很有活力的，还有人说起话来像死了爹一样的，这说明日语说起来有很多多种方法。
不懂韩语的人听别人说韩语时可能会感觉很有趣，你会发现他们的句尾会加上很多语气词，思密达思密达的，一般人是听不懂的。

even though i’’m not a native mandarin speaker, but if you ask me, i would say mandarin chinese sounds the best to me. i speak both mandarin and cantonese. mandarin sounds better i guess, since it has less tones. i supposed the less tones it has the better it sounds. it’’s one of the reasons that makes people think chinese sounds harsh is because it has more tones than the other two languages. it also depends on who is speaking, it’’s a long story about chinese history and how it affects the overall education of the people, especially the ones in the US, where you would most likely encounter, but i won’’t go into details here.
most people think japanese sounds the best, well, it might be because of people’’s impression of how soft spoken japanese women are, and they really are, which makes the language sounds even softer.
different kinds of people have different rhythm when they speak. tones affect rhythm. since japanese and korean, like english, have less tones and are easier to pronounce, they may sound softer.
Source(s):solely my own opinion. no offense to any race.
虽然我的母语不说普通话，但是我仍然认为普通话是汉语中最棒的。普通话和广东话我都会说，我觉得因为普通话的声调更少点，
而更少的声调听起来更好听，比别的语言有更多的声调也是人们认为汉语听力很难的一个原因。这当然也取决于说话者，这些是
长期的历史原因和社会教育照成的，在美国你可能会经常遇到，我就不多说了。
很多人认为日语听起来最好听，这可能是因为在大家的印象里都是日本女人轻声细语的形象，确实如此，这让日语听起来很萌。
每个人说话的方式和节奏都不同，声调会影响韵律。比如英语，有更少的音调而且更容易发音，所以听起来会更柔和。

Have you learned any of these languages? If not, why don’’t you start now, so you can know the difference between these languages, instead of wasting our time here and have people debating or arguing over this?
It depends on whether you speak those languages or not. You can’’t say whether a language is beautiful or ugly. It’’s just your own opinion, which might cause debates and controversies politically or otherwise. I speak Chinese. You cannot split up a language by prefering one dialect over another because they’’re all Chinese. Japanese: you can’’t split this up into dialects either & Korean [they might have dialects too] have their advantages and disadvantages but so does many other languages. There’’s no such thing as "best" or "worst" languages.
你学过这些语言?如果没有，你为什么不现在就开始，这样你就可以知道这些语言之间的差异，而不是浪费我们的时间和精力
去争论呢?这个问题取决于你是否说过这些语言，你不能简答的说这种语言好听或者难听，这只能是你的个人观点，这可能会引起
在政治或其它方面上的争论。我的母语是汉语，你不能拿汉语的某种方言去比较另外一种方言，因为他们都是中国人。同样你也不不能把日语或者韩语的方言分开来看，每种语言都有优点和缺点，但是不能说哪种是最好的或者最糟糕的。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korean flows the best, so I think it is the most beautiful among the three. Japanese sounds like baby speech ( you know how baby talks...ichi guchi etc). A lot of people say Chinese is harsh, perhaps they’’re thinking of Cantonese instead of the official dialect Mandarin? True, cantonese sounds like a fight is going on, but Mandarin is alright. Also, when you say Chinese, you should be more specific, as there are many dialects in the Chinese language, and many of them do not sound anything similar at all.
韩流赛高!!!我 啊，认为朝鲜语是三种语言中最好听的呢!日语听起来就像婴儿在说话。很多人认为汉语很难听懂，可能他们听听到的是广东话而不是更正式的普通话。当然了，广 东话听起来像吵架有没有?普通话就完全没问题，另外，当你说汉语的时候，应该更具体一点，因为汉语有很多的方言，而且有些方言听起来和别的完全不同。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me, they all sound nice. But I guess that people who like a fast moving language with easy pronunciation will like Japanese more (which gives it the same chic factor as Spanish or Italian), where as some people will prefer the changing tones and varying sounds of Chinese which are urgent, commanding and yet peaceful and mysterious at the same time. People who want a balance of both should go for Korean, in my opinion. Also, Chinese has a much more rewarding writing system, if you can learn it :).
对我来说，这三种语言都很好听。但是我觉得，说话快的人可能更喜欢日语(因为有一样的特点，比如西班牙语和意大利语)，
有些人喜欢拥有变化的声调和不同音节的汉语，以及汉语那种威风神秘的感觉。如果你想要感受两者的平衡就去韩国吧(不知道
是不是这样翻的...)另外，如果你愿意学的话，你会发现汉语有着一套很牛掰的书写系统。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest, I believe that Japanese is the... best, in my opinion. It’’s just that their characters look extremely nice and I seem to like their tone. I’’m not saying it’’s the best, I’’m saying it’’s the nicest to me.
The most useful and the best is definitely Chinese. It is the number 1 world spoken language and once you learn it and you learn other languages, then you are definitely going to get a good job. I’’m 15 years old, I know the 2nd most spoken language in the world, spanish, and english which is the 3rd. I’’m currently learning chinese forced by my father because once you learn all three of the most spoken language in the world then wow.. you will definitely get a good job. I’’m not bragging or anything, just making a point.
Korean is very different to Japanese and Chinese.. By the characters especially. It is actually a very useless language, that is why all the Koreans are learning English because they realize that if you learn Korean you can only use the language in Korea. But once you learn Korean and English, I believe that it will also do good because since there are so many Koreans who are in need of being taught in English, it gives a huge effect for those who are teaching. It will do you very good..
说实话，我认为日语是最好的，在我看来，那些说日语的人看起来都很不错而且我很喜欢他们说话的语气。我不能说这是最好的，
但是对我个人来说，日语是最棒的。
从实用性上来说那肯定是汉语了。这是世界第一大语种，如果你学会说汉语并学习其它语言，你绝对能找个好工作。我今年15岁
，我知道其它两个大语种。西班牙语是第二，英语是第三。我老爸现在让我学习汉语，当你学会这三种使用最多的语言后，哇哈哈，你肯定能找一个非常牛掰的工作。我可不是在吹牛，这是我的一个观点。
朝鲜语同日语还有汉语来说有很大不同，但是实际上吧，这是一门没多大用处的语言，所以说现在有很多韩国人学习英语，因为他们也知道如果你会朝鲜语，只能让 你在朝鲜半岛使用。但是如果你会韩语和英语，那就厉害了，因为还有很多其他的韩国人需要学习英语，这一定能给韩国的教育带来很大的影响。那样你岂不是爽爆 了...

Japanese as it’’s not difficult to pronounce and, at the time, was studying Italian (pronunciation is very, very, similar). Have Chinese friends - two speak Cantonese and one speaks Mandarin - I find the Mandarin interesting to listen to but imagine it’’s, very, difficult to learn. I am musical but this doesn’’t hit the "notes" I’’m accustomed to. Although I’’m a westerner, I enjoy old forms of Japanese music featuring jushichi-gen (a 17-stringed instrument) - is, very, soothing.
日语的发音其实并不是很难，我同时也在研究意大利语(发言非常非常像)。我的中国哥们有两个说广东话，一个说普通话，
我发现普通话听起来很有趣，但是光凭感觉就觉得非常非常难学。我喜欢音乐，虽然我是一个西方人，但是我很喜欢日本的
传统音乐比如十七弦筝，这听起来很优雅。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely definitely definitely Japanese.
Chinese sounds kind of harsh. (but I’’m taking it next year in high school anyway :P )
Korean is just kind of... meh.
Japanese is beautiful though.
I know this sounds nerdy, but I listen to lots and lots of Japanese rock and anime (with English subtitles) and the language is (relatively) simple, but elegant. It just sounds lovely to the ears.
绝对绝对是日语，中文听起来不好听，至于韩语.....呵呵~~~ 日语还是很好听的，也许有些呆板，但是在日本的摇滚乐还有动漫里
日语听起来都很可爱。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’’ve never really heard any Korean being spoken, so I’’m torn between Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.
I love how they both sound, how their grammar works and their writing systems (even though their writing systems are quite similar)
What I love about Mandarin Chinese is their use of PinYin tones and how a change in tone can change the entire meaning of a word. Plus, I really like the different vowel sounds that, in my opinion, are a lot different to English.
With Japanese, I just love the all-over sound of the language, and the way that it can encorporate (
Source(s):I like languages.
I watch a lot of Anime (japanese)
And I like kung fu movies (chinese)
我从没听过韩语，所以我就谈谈日语和汉语普通话好了。这两种语言我都非常喜欢，喜欢他们的语法和书法(他们的书写系统非常
相似)。我爱普通话是因为他们用拼音，有很多的音调，而且只要稍微改变下声调就会有不同的意思，另外我很喜欢那种和英语
不同的元音发音方式。至于日语，我只是喜欢它的声音。(最后一句翻译不能)
回答来源：我喜欢语言，我喜欢看动漫(日本)，我喜欢功夫电影(中国)

Mandarin (Chinese) is the hardest to learn from those 3... but it is very useful especially if you’’ll be traveling to some parts of Asia. Japanese is good for business and if you’’re working for a Japanese company (or wants to be in one) you’’ll impress your colleagues and your boss. Learning Korean for me is simpler, Hangul is easy to write and once you know it you’’ll find it easy to speak and understand the language ;)
普通话是三种中最难学的，但也是最有用的，特别是你去亚洲的一些地方旅游时。如果你在(或者希望在)一家日企工作时，日语
很有用，这能帮你打动你的同事和老板。学习韩语对我来说很简单，韩文很容易写，而且当你深入学习时你会发现韩语的听读也很容易。

Chinese
-Chinese mandrine as spoken in Beijing sounds like people speak with a ball in the mouth.Can sound very irritaing.
-Shanghainese chinese sounds weird but better than Beijing Chinese.
-HongKong Cantonese sounds the best, as what I think
-Malaysian Chinese sounds a little weird too, but still I feel it has this unique flavour.
-Singaporean chinese is totally horrible. The choice of words and grammer is at times mixed with English and Malay words.
Best : HongKong Cantonese
Worst: Beijing Chinese
Korean
-Seoul korean is spoken at a fast pace with refinement.
-Busan korean is spoken slowly with a more relaxed paceor Can’’t decide which is best or worst
Japanese
I have no idea, but I once had a friend from hokkaido. I thought his accent was quite pleasing to the ear.
汉语：北京人说普通话听起来好像嘴里面含了一个球，听起来很刺激。上海话听起来很怪但是比北京话好多了。我认为粤语的发音
是最好听的。马来西亚人说汉语听起来很怪异，但是很有韵味。新加坡人说汉语非常可怕，说话时混合了英语和马来语有没有?
于是我得出结论，最好的：粤语 最差的：北京话
韩语：韩国首尔说话很精练而且节奏很快。釜山人说话很慢懒洋洋的感觉，但是不好说哪种好或不好。
日语：我也不知道，但是我有个北海道的朋友，我觉得他说话听起来很悦耳。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’’m a both Mandarin and Cantonese speaker, so I’’d like you to choose Chinese the language which sounds best. Mandarin has 4 or 5 tones, and Cantonese has 9 tones at least. People whose first language is Cantonese speak Mandarin very tough. But they speak Cantonese just like singing. I think people in Liuzhou (near Guilin, in the south of China) speak Mandarin quite perfect! Though it’’s not very standard. I don’’t know if Japanese and Korean have tones or not, but I hear Japanese very...I don’’t think it’’s fair-sounding like songs. So, choose standard Mandarin, or if you can, go to Liuzhou(柳州), to enjoy their non-standard but very fair-sounding Mandarin.
普通话和广州话我都会说，所以我来帮你选择汉语中最好听的方言。普通话有4到5个声调，而粤语至少有9个，母语是粤语的人说
普通话非常困难。很多人说粤语是因为喜欢粤语歌。我觉得柳州人说普通话很完美，尽管并不标准。至于日语和朝鲜语，我也不知道有没有声调，但是我听日语觉得 非常....我不认为日语唱歌很好听。所以，我选择普通话。如果可以的话，你亲自去趟柳州吧，去享受柳州人民那并不标准但是非常好听的柳州普通话吧!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese, its so beautiful. i had a foreign exchange student from Japan, and she taught me some simple Japanese. So me personally, love Japanese the best. Then i have a friend who speaks mandrin chinese, and i think it sounds sorta neat. Korean i never really got interested in too much. I love all foreign languages, i find them all quite fascinating. So i don’’t really dislike any of them
日语，非常美丽的语言。我有个同学是日本来的交换生，她教过我一些简单的日语。所以对我个人而言，我更喜欢日语。我有个朋友说普通话，我觉得和日语差不多。至于韩国，我不是很感兴趣...我爱所有的外语，我发现每种语言都是那么吸引人，因此，我并没有不喜欢的。

1. Korean.
2. Japanese
3. Chinese - cantonese.
Korean sounds really cute to me. Plus, my boyfriend is korean so that helps with liking it haha.
Japanese is okay, but it’’s getting so old to me.
Cantonese used to be my favorite language, but it’’s not as nice sounding as other lanfuages.
1、韩语
2、日语
3、汉语(广东话)
韩语听起来很可爱哦，另外，我男朋友是韩国人是他帮我回答这个问题的，呵呵。
日语还不错，但是我觉得有点太土了粤语是我最喜欢的语言，但是听起来没有另外两种好听。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japanese has a beautiful flow, because of the many syllable words, and it can sound very gentle, with lovely vowels (o and a) and the "r" sound. Chinese sounds all chopped up, and it has too many "sh" and "ZH" sounds. Korean I find harsh.
I hear all 3 languages on a daily basis where I live and I can tell the difference even though I don’’t speak any of them.
日语很好听，因为日语有很多多音节词，听起来分温柔，还有很可爱的元音发音(比如o和a)还有r的发音也是。汉语听起来抑扬顿挫而且有很多类似sh和zh的发音。韩语太难听了...
我住的地方每天都能听到这三种语言，谁让我不会说但是我能告诉你他们的区别。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese of any kind (Mandarin, Cantonese, Fookien) is pleasant and smooth and melodic.
Japanese or Nihongo is crisp-sounding and sharp.
Korean is somewhere in the middle: sometimes it sounds as smooth as silk and sometimes it’’s as crisp as paper.
I think all three languages sound equally good.
I don’’t speak any but I’’d like to learn. The fanboy in me says to learn Japanese, since I used to watch a lot of anime in Nihongo with English subs. The practical side of me wants me to learn Chinese, especially Mandarin, since China is a rising superpower and I’’ve heard it’’s advisable to start learning. My inner adventurer tells me I should learn Korean, simply because the language intrigues me, not to mention I’’m from the Philippines and a lot of Koreans live in and/or visit my country. :)
汉语的所有方言都有愉悦和优美的声音，日语听起来清脆动听而且声音有点尖。韩语比较中性，有时候听起来像丝绸一样光滑，
有时听起来像纸一样脆弱(这比喻没看懂...)
我觉得三种语言听起来都很棒。
我不会说但是我很想学，我的粉丝让我学日语，因为我经常看很多英文字母的日本动漫。说实际的一面，我想学中文，尤其是普通话，因为中国是一个正在崛起的大 国，这是最好的学习汉语的时机。而我的内心告诉我，我应该学习韩语，这是由于这门语言激起了我的兴趣，更不用说因为我来自菲律宾，很多韩国人来我国旅游或 者定居。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Korean is my native language and I had learnt some chinese (Mandarin) and Japanese in the past. To speak frankly, I found Japanese sounds the best. Although Chinese claim that their language sounds the best, Mandarin (even though it sounds much better than other dialects, like Cantonese) sounds kinda annoying.
So I will say: Japanese > Korean> Chinese
韩语是我的母语，我以前学过一点汉语普通话和日语。老实说，我觉得日语最好听，尽管中国人声称他们的语言是最好听的，
普通话(尽管比别的方言更好听)听起来很讨厌，所以我的选择：日语-韩语-汉语。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’’m thinking between Chinese and Japanese.. but I’’d say Chinese.. probably Cantonese.
I just love the way it sounds when I listen to Chinese songs especially the traditional ones. Generally it’’s so beautiful.
Japanese sounds very nice too but not all the time for me.
Korean, I’’m not that familiar with it.
我想在汉语和日语中选择，我可能会选择汉语，或者说广州话。
我只是单纯的喜欢它的声音，每当我听中国传统音乐时，总是感觉它是那么美妙。
日语听起来很好听但对我来说有些时候也未必。
韩语对我来说有点陌生，忽略...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To me Korean sounds rough and Japanese sounds too polite. Chinese depends on the dialect. Mandarin sounds fine, but Cantonese sounds very rude. But I don’’t really have preferences since I understand almost all.
But if to choose one, I prefers Chinese. The northern sounds very "rolling" and the southern sounds natural. To me, chinese sounds soft and elegant.
对我来说，韩语不好听，日语听起来太客套。汉语你得取决于到底是哪种方言，普通话不错，粤语听起来很没礼貌，大部分我都知道，我并没有特别的偏好。
但是如果非要选择一个，我会选择汉语，中国的北方人说话听起来很带劲，而南方人说话很自然。对我来说汉语的声音轻柔飘逸。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would say all the languages on Earth are special in their own way. They are interesting to be all known if it would be possible.
But for JAPANESE I’’ve always had a inner attraction.
I wished for me to be borne in that country, with their blood since I was so little ..... which I cannot explain WHY. Probably their eyes fascinated me in the first place !? Next their language, their clothes & houses & gardens ... everything!
Do you love Italian chorus of children?
They are adorable! I thought they are the cutest.
But have you ever had the ocasion to listen for at least one chorus of Japanese children?
Thinking of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki and puting these together .................... ..................... ....................... they are more than Angels.
Japanese has a vowel after almost any consonant, and the "R" letter is pronounced very funny, like a "L".
And is a complex language as they have the Chinese Katakana as well in their usual writing.
Looke at them as a nation, from all the times!
I wonder if they’’re still as strong characters as they were.
我得说地球上所有的语言都有独特的，如果有可能的话懂得所有语言是有趣的。
但是日语对我来说有着一种特别的吸引力。我喜欢自己能再那个国家出生，拥有日本人的血种，我也不知道为什么，可能是他们的眼睛让我深深着迷吧，还有他们的穿着，房子，花园以及一切!
你喜欢意大利的儿童合唱团么，他们很可爱，而且我认为他们是最可爱的。
但是如果你有机会去听一听日本的儿童合唱团，结合着广岛和长崎想一想......他们简直就是天使!
日语中，所有的R发音都很可笑，听起来就像L。
这是一种复杂的语言，他们在平时的写作中会用汉子和片假名。
从古至今，看看这个民族!
我由衷希望他们在历史的长河中永存![/size]
