Because I only know English as a fluent language I haven't had the chance to hear accents in other languages e.g English accents in Russian, German accents in Russian.
Is it easier to hear a Russian accent in an English accent or vice versa?
They say Russian-speaking English learners never loose their accent but is that the same for English-speaking Russian learners?
I've been wondering this for a while.
The thing is that there are a lot less English-speaking Russian learners than vice versa...
I am not sure what you mean by "what is easier to hear". It depends on how well a particular person speaks. Most English native speakers who speak Russian do have a very noticeable accent, if that is what you were asking about.Quote:

It is also possible to acquire a foreign accent in your native language if you live abroad long enough without talking to other expatriates.
Yeah, that's what I mainly wanted to know, thanks.Quote:
