Ycomp... your post is very interesting. Can I ask you please?.. Here's a thread where I posted a clip with my voice speaking English. Could you please, if you can listen to it, tell me how "evident" my Russian accent is, in this clip? I'm asking because I've been told several times (not only about this particular recording) that my accent is anything but not Russian. So I'm just curious about your opinion.
