Which language is more frightening to hear? Russian or German?

I suppose it depends on what period of time & where you are. Your a Jewish athlete in 1972 Munich, the sounds of German voices with guns would’ve sounded like salvation. A mere three decades before that and a jewish man hiding his family in a basement would’ve thought to hide same voices sounded like death.
I don’t associate a fear with either language but I think German sounds better to me. Russian seems more forceful.

To me a lot of languages are very beautiful. When you start understanding stuff in the language and experience the culture. I don't really see any as scary.

But that's because my hobby is language learning.

For whom? Silly people that "know" these languages only through Hollywood products?

I think Russian is more intimidating..
