I put together this little video clip to demonstrate the worse kind of verbal abuse in different languages. Of course, we must remember that the some voice over actors are better than others. I thought this video would be funny. I am sure many of you will enjoy it.
Welcome! Everything teachers need to teach evolution, culture, language and archeology to middle and high school students.
Intimidating Languages
Nobody enjoys being yelled at. Does it sometimes feel like being yelled at in on language is more unhinging than other languages? I speak French fluently. I can say confidently that being yelled at in French does not bother me in the least bit. To me, when Germans yell at each other it sounds like barking. In fact, there isn't much about the German language that I like. Even terms of endearments sound harsh and guttural.
