German. It naturally sounds so aggressive that if someone speaks German to you and it doesn't sound rude, they must be trying really hard.

Softly spoken German in an intimate setting can really do it for me.

Loudly spoken German can also do it for me for entirely different reasons.

Yeah, I didn't think German was anything special until a few years ago when I attended a German language group just for fun, on a whim. There was a native speaker there that I spoke to, and unexpectedly I just... I don't even know.

Anyhow, we ended up dating for a while.

Still have a weakness for the German language.

I never would've expected it until it happened, just barely above a whisper, loud enough for me to hear and not anyone else....

Huh. That's interesting. I'm native Spanish speaker and I find German (actually, most Germanic languages including English) a bit toned down, lacking most harsh sounds I associate with aggressive tone.
