    anyone speaking BEHIND me, annoys me no end. dunno why. that's why in the movie theatre we always sit in the last row. something about someone behind me, talking, just so truly irritating.


    that said, i LOVE people speaking in foreign languages, and i don't find it distracting at ALL. (tho behind me/super loud, yea). other side of my cube used to be a rotating spot for associates on secondment, always from the netherlands. one of our partners is dutch, so they'd come over to work with him. i would hear this person speaking in dutch almost all day long - b/c the rest of our area is soooo quiet. last guy spoke dutch/french/spanish/english...and spoke all on the phone. i LOVED it. i love languages - even tho all i speak is english - and i loved to hear him speak (had a great voice too, so that did help)...but it was great noise, without the distraction of actually understanding what he was saying. :D



    edit - from here to hear...;)

    Agreed on all counts. I hate anyone speaking loudly behind me - keep it to yourself! But I love, love, love other languages. I've been surrounded by them my whole life...grandmom spoke German, step dad speaks Greek and French and my ex spoke Polish. I sadly only speak English, but I was able to understand some Polish after 13 years together :P And as you know...I have an affinity for non-american accents ;)

    When I lived in Boston it constantly annoyed me when people would speak very loudly in another language. I am speaking of public transportation, where you have no escape from the noise. Every Day, different people did it. I think if it was English you would get told STFU. Weird.

    I just don't think I have the knack for languages...I took 3 years of French, my stepdad speaks french...i don't remember a damn thing! My ex only spoke Polish with his family and I only picked up a handful of words. I think being immersed in it would help...but I just don't think my brain works that way lol

    ITA. German is actually a very beautiful language... it gets a bad rap cause people think it's all aggressive, when it's really not... I find French far more aggressive sounding than German, but that's just me. I actually understand alot of German :)

    As for Australian accents... I'm constantly amused/bemused by people who are taken by Aussie accents :P

    cause it does me! speaking German right behind me!!!!!!

    there is something more irritating about it when it's a language you don't understand. I wonder why that is. Maybe because it's just noise to the listener rather than having meaning. My friend has studied these sorts of things, I should ask her.

    anyone speaking loud on public transit bothers me...
    but you probably are bothered more by a foreign language because it stands out and doesnt just get lost in background noise maybe.

    on the other hand, some asians speak really loudly. :?
