    German. It naturally sounds so aggressive that if someone speaks German to you and it doesn’t sound rude, they must be trying really hard.

      Huh. That’s interesting. I’m native Spanish speaker and I find German (actually, most Germanic languages including English) a bit toned down, lacking most harsh sounds I associate with aggressive tone.

      Softly spoken German in an intimate setting can really do it for me.

      Loudly spoken German can also do it for me for entirely different reasons.
