German gets a minus from me as well, I do not like the grammar, the phonetics, the words. Pugh !

I enjoy listening Russian, Latin, Japanese, and - sometimes - Arab (I'd say that arab talked by a woman sounds much better than talked by a man, a few cases excepted. But then, most arab I hear is from TV shows about terrorism).
I've never heard an Indian speaking, but from the few indian songs I've heard, it sounds pretty nice too.

I had a conversation with a Modern Languages professor the other day. He and I argued about whether "Sel-tik" was a proper pronunciation of the word 'Celtic'. I, of course, hate that mispronunciation.

English is regularly butchered by just about everyone in my continent. The only time I hear it spoken properly is by the few Englishmen I ever see on TV. I know the language...might as well speak it right.

Gaelic and German are nice to hear. I know what you mean about Arabic, LeftEyeNine, in singing cases. There's are a really great sample of it on the first Nile album...the song because a vicious wail. It's supposed to be a Djinni, you see; I really love that part of the song.
