prata tyska - mer hårt uttal generellt?
Hej,
om man lär sig prata tyska flytande, det har ganska hårt uttal, kommer man då få hårdare uttal senare då när man pratar t.ex. engelska? t.réx. attacken som hörs när ord börjar på vokaler. Kommer det inte finnas någon återvändo sen, att stämbanden eller delarna i halsen härdats och hårdats till så att man inte får samma uttal som förr?

Prevalence of devoiced consonants
This is a factor because devoiced consonants are usally perceived more harsh than voiced consonants.
A main factor for this is certainly the already mentioned phenomenon of terminal devoicing(Auslautverhärtung), but there is more.
Voiced consonants are very unlikely to follow a short vowel. Just think of how few words there are which are spelt with bb, dd, gg, vv or ww. Moreover, ss does not indicate a short vowel preciding a voiced s, but an unvoiced s.
Finally, the voiced counterpart of the sch sound (?) occurs only in a few loanwords such as Garage.So, we are short of a voiced consonant in comparison to some other European languages. Moreover, many Southern dialects and varieties of German lack the voiced s altogether.
The glottal stop (Glottisschlag)
The glottal stop is the sound separating the two e in beerdigen. Every German word whose first letter is a vowel starts with this sound. Many native speakers are not even aware of this relatively frequent phoneme and it?s one of the hallmarks of a German accent in most other languages.
This is a factor because it is yet another consonantic sound (see above) and a particular harsh one: Many ways of grumbling, grunting and screaming employ a variant of this sound.
