Only French sounds like that.

And Chinese has streched vowels? Why should a Chinese care about streched vowels? What is easy for one person may not be easy for another.

They say Hio de Janeiro, falah ( falar) etc.<<<

It is not always pronouced as a mute h (and never as an english h).
Some times they change it to l, like in Cleusa may sound Creusa but it all depends of the region of Brasil you are talking about.

I never heard Hio de Janeiro, but Rio de Janeiro. But then, what region in Brazil are you talking about?
