German is really guttural. Listened to the plane attendants talk on the intercom onwards to Austria.

Only when you're not used to it. And even without comparing with the austrian version of the german language, the way it sounds changes a lot with the accent. The way they talk in the north -Schleswig Holstein or Hamburg- has little in common with the way they talk in Bavaria per example, just as people from Freiburg or Stuttgart which are both closer to my place talk in a different way. Well, I may not be totally impartial on the matter, I grew up learning french and german simultaneously. German is, along with the alsatian dialect, just as natural for me as french.
If you want something ugly, listen to swiss germans.

No need to learn Spanish since i can talk on portuguese and people who speaks spanish understand it since both are very similar.
