I like the German word 'frühstück', meaning 'breakfast'.

Awesome.

(I speak German and English. )

I adore to say 'mon dieu'. I hope I got the spelling right. I last took French four years ago.

I like how German sounds, especially Blitzkreig (sorry if I mis-spelled it).

since some of you like german words or phrases, heres a short heads up on spelling:

ie and ei are just the other way round in german:
ie is an extended version of the german 'i' sound - think english 'ee' in 'beer', or 'ei' in 'weird'
ei is basically the sound of english 'i', 'eye' - or 'ie' as in 'die'

hence, its rammstEIn (and its not pronounced like 'ram-steen' but rather like 'rumm-shtine'), blitzkrIEg ('blits-kreeg') and kugelschrEIber ('koo-gal-shry-ber').

i do use some english phrases all the time. most notably: "what the hell?" "you wish" or "shut the hell up"

I just like the Japanese and French languages in general, I don't have any particularly favorite phrases.

Anything Yiddish. It's quite possibly the best language to insult people in. Armenian and Farsi also sound very cool.

I like the phrase "Vad heter du?", which is the name of one of Caramell's songs. I don't know what it means, but it sounds neat. It's Swedish, by the way.
