Why does german sound angry

However, we have to distinguish between the tool and its usage. However, people acting with ill-intent, might use chopsticks as a weapon and hurt the listener.

The German movie industry produces a lot of comedies but has trouble selling them abroad, so most German movies people may have seen are also the dark kind, like The Experiment and Downfall.

The French movie industry has the opposite problem, having trouble selling anything but romantic comedies abroad. Some claim that as many as forty percent of German words sound similar to their English counterparts which can make building your vocabulary a breeze.
