It's interesting for me how does Russian language sounds for foreign ear? For example for Russians German language sounds like "barking language", English one sounds like as if "a person are chewing the cud and speaking" etc. So what can you tell?

It depends on who you ask.
Some say it sounds exactly like a South American badger chewing a humming bird while trying to tap-dance wearing ice skates, others say it is the sound a bald head makes when you break a bottle of 25 year-old scotch over it while singing We Are The World in Esparanto.
I think it might sound kinda rude. But I'm pretty convinced it doesn't sound to them too different from Polish, Serbian, and Bulgarian.
Russian sounds beautiful for me. ;)

Italian and French carry more melody, but I find some Italian words sounding funny to my ear.
As with any language, it depends on many factors. Who is saying What, When it is being said, Where it is, Why is it being said and How.
Anyone being nice has a pleasant tone, anyone in a bad mood will sound bad...
A happy guy, making toasts, after work at a bar, because he is a new father, smiling is a good sound. 8)
Bitchy Assistant Manager, bitching at the help, at the start of work, because she has problems dealing with others, like a bitch is a bad sound :evil:

Почему бы тебе не принять это как комплимент?Quote:

А какие, например? ;)Quote:
