Are you able to recognize people of your nationality everywhere?

Are you able to recognize people of your nationality or from your country when you walk on the street in other countries? I mean just by person's appearence, clothes.

Or even more: are you able to recognize people from your country here, on italki, just by person's profile picture?

I live in Russia and I haven't been to other countries (exept Ukraine), but I noticed that very often I can guess whether a person is from several post-soviet countries (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan) by something "familiar" in their look, fashion, the way they make a picture. And usually I guess it right.

I'm interested whether it works with other countries.

Why people say that Russian sounds harsh?

I've heard it for many times, and as a native Russian speaker I can't really judge because obviously my language sounds normal for me. I tried to analyze,  and I've found that I just can't understand what people mean by saying "harsh". So, there's a video with normal speech in Russian and a song, and I'd like you to listen to it and write which sounds or words or something sound harsh or unpleasant to a foreign ear.

Do you also have this problem?

When you write an information about you preferences in "info", you ask to write something more than "hi, what's up" and you, for example, don't want to use skype, and almost all the people that send you a message, ignore all the points! They don't even visit you page and read this. I think it's just disrespectful. It isn't very interesting to have million meaningless conversations.

Do you have this problem?

Phonétique française Je ne pense pas que j'ai beaucoup de problèmes avec la prononciation française, mail il y a une chose qui me rend confus. Plus précisément, ce n'est pas une chose, mais deux sons. Comment peut-on distinquer le son comme dans les mots "sœur", "peur" (œ) et le son comme dans les mots "deux", "(je) peux" (ø) sans dictionnaire, quand on voit un mot écrit dans le texte?

Quelques pensées. De temps en temps je pense que l'âme humaine est si large, si changeante, si variée, qu'on ne faut pas juger et classer quelqu'un. Il serait plus logique de se conduire avec une personne chaque fois qu'on la rencontre comme si l'on la voit pour la premiere fois et comme si l'on a aucune idée qui elle est, parce que c'est véritablement comme ça. Chaque personne a fait beaucoup de choses dont elle a honte. Mais les autres la jugent selon ses actions et ses paroles anciennes, ils ne savent pas que cette personne pourrait changer d'avis, avoir beaucoup d'honte de ce qu'elle a fais. Ça peut être une entièrement nouvelle personne, mais qui le sait?
