Fenris_kcf:... Though English with a German accent sounds awful in many cases.I think that's mainly because you are a German who is a skilled English speaker.
I have the same with Dutch accents in any language but Dutch, and I have heard from various people they feel the same. As someone who has spent and still is spending countless hours honing their accent in foreign languages, on some deep unconscious level I feel a little like people with Dutch accents are lazy and just not doing their best enough. Which I know is crazy and irrational, but that's sadly just how my mind works at the moment. (For this same reason I have a hard time listening to any music from the Dutch Esperanto band Kapriol', such as this song.)
I guess I'm a huge hypocrite when it comes to this, because I love hearing people speak English in almost any accent other than Dutch. When I don't it's usually an accent that is a little hard to understand. I'm not too sure about Esperanto yet, because I have not heard a lot of different accents so far.

Fenris_kcf:Yes..I'm imagining Ingrid Pitt saying it. It matters a lot how a language is delivered and by whom, not just the language itself.

I could claim English is sexy, using Joanna Lumley as an example, but then there's also the reality of TOWIE...

Vestitor:It matters a lot how a language is delivered and by whom, not just the language itself.I strongly agree!
That suddenly reminds me of a very relevant clip from Conan O'Brien on Youtube here, about how Evangeline Lilly "knows" (learned to pronounce) Tolkien's Sindarin elvish language, and how that's a sexy language. But not when Conan does it.

"Malbela" mankas al via opinienketo. Persone, Esperanto sonas bona al mi, sed se mi trovus ĝin malbela, ne eblus tiel voĉdoni.

Vestitor:You're right. I mistook the question to mean 'the word Esperanto'. My apologies to the OP.Opps. I did the same thing. I thought he meant the word "Esperanto". If we are talking about the spoken language, then I think it is totally sexy.

jagr2808:I don't actually like that esperanto has a meaning in esperanto.You are right. I never thought about that.
Does Li diris esperante mean he said in esperanto or he said hopingly
Li diris esperante = He said hopingly
Li diris esperante = He said in Esperanto
Maybe we need another name. It has to be really catchy though. How about altlingvo
Li diris altlingve = He said in Esperanto
