How do you like the russian language?
Maybe it sounds very strange, but still. I'm just interested what do you, non-native russian speakers, think about this language :-) Especially about russian phonetics: sounds, intonations, etc. Does it sound melodical for you or not? Are there a lot of rough sounds? How does it sound for you in general? Do you like it or not? What is good and what is bad? Does this language sound romantic? Does it suit for poetry? Is it lyrical? Does it suit to make a declaration of love? Could you please tell me your opinion about this language? There are many consonants, so, I think, it's not very melodical. I'm native russian speaker, moreover, I study foreign languages and linguistics at the uni, and it's very interesting for me to "hear" this language with the ears of non-russian speaker, I want to know what do other people think of this language; although I realize, how strange my question is :D Thank you very much for my curiosity's satisfaction.

Thank you very much for your answers :-) I agree, that Russian is more "singing" than Czech, but I find Czech really nice, as well as Polish and others Slavic languages. I don't understand a word in Czech songs, but nevertheless it sounds more "close" to me, than, for instance, Turkish or Hebrew, because they both, Russian and Czech, belong to the Slavic language group. For me the way how the language sounds is very important too, because I just can't learn something I don't like. It's interesting, that people who speak Slavic languages (and there are a lot of consonants in Slavic languages, especially in Polish or Czech) find Russian melodical, and people who speak Romanian (there are a little consonants in Romanic languages and they are more melodical) find it rough sounding :-) As for me, I like Romanian very much, it sounds really sweet :-) And Russian letters are really strange, I think ;-) Thank you very much again for your answers :-)

I think you are right about the sound of each language. I'm sorry to say that I don't like russian because its consonants. I don't like french because its accent. But I like english, italian, japanese. I think the sound is very important because you can't learn a language while you think it's sounds bad or strange.

I used to be able to speak Russian but now I've forgotten most of them because of lack of practice.
I have to say that I love the way Russian lettters are written
and good Russian songs are like lullabies to me :)

Though both Czech and Russian are Slavic languages, I think that Russian is more "singing" language than Czech :D
I'm not sure but I guess you would find Czech monotonous, compared to Russian.
