As a native speaker of English it’s hard to have an impression on
the sound of English. It’s so natural to my ears that I just consider
it normal, unlike let’s say…. swahili. I would definitely be
able to characterize swahili’s sounds as a foreigner.
So what do other people say about English? Some people on LiveJournal
asked around and here are some impressions. (add your own if you’re not a
native speaker!)
