  Greek sounds like European Spanish specifically. They both have 5 vowel sounds, an apical S, the voiceless dental fricative, the voiceless velar fricative and a very similar prosody.

  Im a native spanish speaker, and I'm so flattered to know that some people consider spanish sounds like Greek because Greek is so sexy and beautiful 😍

  I'm Greek and I can tell they sound really similar. I also got confused once when my sister was watching la casa de papel and at first I thought it was a Greek serial. Also at the beginning of a few Spanish songs. But this got explained easily. 1. ANCIENT GREEK - 2.LATIN- 3. ALL OF THE LATIN LANGUAGES- 4. SPANISH HAPPENED TO HAVE EXACTLY SAME PRONUNCIATION AND RHYTHMIC INTONATION AS GREEK AND BOOM 💥 THATS IT

  I’m Greek, and last summer I was walking through a local outdoor market when three girls were walking behind me. As we moved from stall to stall, I could hear them talking, but because of all the noise, I couldn’t understand what they were saying.<br><br>Their rhythm, intonation, and overall sound seemed completely Greek, yet none of it made any sense. Then we ended up at the same stall, and I realized they were Spanish-speaking tourists.<br><br>I decided to call this experience “auditory dyslexia.” 🤣

  I speak both of them. Spanish is my mother tongue and Greek is my obsession 😍

  ​This is the third video with this exact group of people and I honestly love it! Zach and Hanna literally read each other&apos;s minds (which is funny). Bita completely shatters the typical German stereotype — she&apos;s so bubbly and talkative! Davo is pure comedy gold; his accent and the fact that it seems all his knowledge comes from TikTok is hilarious. And Chryssa is so sweet and genuinely knowledgeable without being pretentious at all. Great video! I&apos;ve enjoyed it so much.

  As a Cypriot Greek speaker, Colombian Spanish sounds oddly similar to my accent
