>> One of the things that learning Russian clears up is why they sound so angry to English ears.
Funny. To me (I'm Greek) Russians sound like they're always complaining about something. It's Germans that sound angry.
Edit: I wonder what Greek sounds like to foreign ears. The closes I've come to understanding it is hearing Spanish people talk, who sound a lot like Greek -that I don't understand.
Both Spanish (The Spain-version, not the Mexico-version) and Greek have a bunch of S sounds _everywhere_.
That's what makes them sound similar to people who don't speak the language that much.
