How does Russian sounds to you? (for non-natives)
Just interesting. I can't really see how it sounds to a non-native ear. For instance for me English sounds like more formal, firm, technological. Spanish, Italian, French - very musical. Chinese, Japanese, Korean - kind of weird, very particular to white people.Please don't pass by, it's so easy to answer, but so interesting to me.
