 Some languages sound annoying. I'm not saying the people are bad people or anything but the audio they produce from their body makes me wanna rip my arm off and beat my head in with it. French (speaking out of the nose isn't a pleasant sound) and Vietnamese (Sounds like a cartoon character drinking water) is one of those languages, sorry not sorry. Again I mean no hate towards any of the people who speak these languages, the sounds just irritate me that's all. I'm sure many of them don't like the sounds of English either and that's perfectly ok. 
 Every Aussie sounds like a comedian to me 🤷‍♂️

I try to avoid hearing British people say "taco". That's just the worst. 
 Brits - Tak Oh 
Aussies - Nawwr  
 Hearing an american complaining about languages makes me snort my tea through my nose😩😆🫂 
 Well if you are gonna do that at least double nostril it 😂 
 I won’t exactly complain, but I’ll say that despite Vietnamese not being my favorite-sounding language, their way of singing IS one of my favorites; it’s flat out amazing and I love it so much. 

What I WILL complain about is they combine such superlative singing with annoying fake instruments like, all the time 😭 I long to find examples with acoustic instruments only 

Here’s an example so you can see what I’m talking about:
