I wouldn't necessarily say that one language is better than another, but some are more popular for sure, like English, French, German, etc. But there is no doubt that the French language probably sounds the best, the most romantic sounding.
Unfortuantely, the French people themselves will never know how beautiful their language sounds to the rest of us. Sure, they've been told how nice it sounds but because the speak it natively and because that's the only language that many of them will ever speak (not talking about the English they learned back in school days) they'll never really experience how romantically it sounds to the rest of us. I know... I've talked to a number of Frenchies about it.
Like others, I'm sure, I've taken a basic French course at the local community college to learn some French so I could at least understand a little of what Alizee was singing about. It worked. I still don't understand everything but can now understand enough and can translate a lot (with the help of my talking French dictionary and Freetranslation.com.)
Since I've first learned of Alizee I've taken great interest in the French people. Now, I've become a good friend of a real French chef who owns a French restaurant in my area, I even put on French virtual concerts for him and his customers. I've learned some French, visited France and had my biggest fantasy come true, and made friends with some French guys visiting the US for about 3 months. I even set the young and handsome French guys up with some very beautiful young American girls that I know. Yes, they all hit it off immediately. I feel good about that. Merci à Alizée.
