I have to disagree on Russian, but I do agree mightily on Spanish. I swear it is the most romantic language I've ever heard. I know people say that about French, but for me it's Spanish.
>I took 3 years of Russian in high school and to me, it sounds like barking dogs! :o) Of course, so does German. I enjoy listening to Spanish and French though. English is the ugliest language. I have friends from Bulgaria who sound similar to Russian when they speak Bulgarian.

>>Hmmm.. looks like a great poem, but unfortunately as I said before, I am unilingual. I neither speak nor understand Russian. I was only pointing out that it is a beautiful language to listen to. It is a soft, rolling language, and even not being able to understand what is said it is still a pleasure to listen to. On the other hand, it's far less beautiful to look at. ;)
