Differences between dialects

[Spanish Nerd]

Here's I site I found that I think is really cool. A person reads a passage, showing how there is different pronounciation between people of different countries.

EDIT: Feel free to discuss what you think of different dialects, which you like/dislike, and anything along those lines...

Hey, I tried to tell you about Spanish in Spain. Spanishnerd knows all. lol

Castillian Spanish is annoying to me sometimes. Since all my podcasts have people from Spain speaking, it's getting a bit old; all I hear is thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Plus it's very harsh sounding. Sometimes it makes me think twice about wanting to go to Spain. Dialects in Latin America are much more pretty. heart

Portuguese really surprised me, I must say. It sounds like a very blended mixture of French and Spanish, and at other times just like French, and at other times Italian and Spanish.... eek

It's caught my interest, that's all I can say. wink

Finnish was like the shock of the century for me xd I thought it might sound different, but... wow... eek

Portuguese definately sounded wierd though. Not to offend any Portuguese people here, but it sounded like a Dutch person trying to learn Spanish gonk

By the way - is it just me, or does the Brasilian Portuguese dialect sound annoying compared to the Portuguese of Portugal? >.<

*listens again*
Hmm...I find the Brazillian dialect more animated and lively...plus funnier sounding! biggrin And I could understand more words in that dialect.
The Portugal dialect is more low key. 3nodding

The Finnish is shocking, but not as much as the Portuguese for me. I just can't get over it. *is MY shock of the century* stressed

Catalan sounds cool! Kind of a nasal version of Spanish. cool

Wow, Portuguese is beautiful, I'm not shocked, I imagined it would be like that. My mother have always told me that Portuguese is more beautiful than Spanish, and a lot more relaxing than French. ^^ I love it! heart

Finnish wasn't a schock at all. >.<

Nyah! Now I'm on a computer where the speakers DO work!

I didn't think Finnish sounded unexpected at all. confused

I loved how Welsh sounded. 3nodding

The danish one is more flat than the one she is speaking. Typical german-speaking-danish melody she has going there. Its pretty fluent though, I must say. But german and Danish is closely related.  

[419scambaiterKoko]

i would say what really like a soft language(in a way) in it's standard form
would be Japanese
I'm learning many of japanese dialects and preferably I really like the Hokkaido-ben dialect over tokyo-ben ( yes there is a Hokkaido-ben for those who don't believe me)
and kansai-ben sounded somewhat different but more harsh like German  

[Spanish Nerd]

You know, Japanese sounds like Spanish at times. It's because the vowels are similar to Spanish vowels...that's what my friend says. 3nodding

So I felt like I understood some things! xd
