HoW DOES GREEK SOUND LIKE TO YOU??

Question

i am doing a survey in 10 foreign speaking countries.

Greeks Talking

http://youtube.com/watch?v=w-ZSi0S1cYo

Greek Music Video

http://youtube.com/watch?v=J3nNiRQfPbU

How does it sound like, and what language does it sound most similar to? Also is there a difference in sound between the video where there is TALking in Greek and the music video. ?

Answer 1

The intonation and pronounciation remind me of Italian.

Answer 2

all sounds greek to me!  It's such an expressive language  - with all of the historical languages, there are similarities - a little Italian/Latin influence, and also some middle eastern undertones.

Be yourself - it's what makes it special!

(But why are you asking this in the Ireland areas?)

Answer 3

Hey, George, I am Greek, so my answer doesn't count (lol) but consider changing the first video, because both women speak like they've had a cerebral accident (that's an egkefaliko) and they are certainly not a good example of fluent Greek...Actually the one on the right has a strange accent!!!

May I suggest this one:
