When Russaian people talking in English they do have very nice (soft) accent, in my opinion, I think, because Russians palatililize nearly all consonants, making them beautifull soft. Your opinions, do you like Russian acent?
Russian accent
Really? To me most Eastern European accents seem to sound quite harsh. To be honest they are not my favourite accents.
English. What is yours? Not Russian I hope after I said that :O I speak German as well. The German accent is also usually considered harsh.
it's the very first time I've heard this thing. It is said that Romance languages speakers have sexy and soft accent when speaking in English
No I am not Russian, dont worry! :) Personally to me Russian soft consonants and sounds ressemble French some how. I found Russian accent verry sexy, especially when a Russian girl speaks English :)
I am Flemish ;)

Im my oppinion, Italians, but especially Spaniards and Romanians have not definitelly soft, but very hard accents when speaking English...Frenchman have soft accent.
This is your opinion in fact. To me Italians have the nicest accent speaking English and the most soft one, I like Spanish secondly. I can't bare Frenchmen speaking English on the other hand.
These "French = soft" litany is old...

Hi, Olaf!
It should be "bear" here, not "bare"...Well, I HOPE you didn't mean "bare" here. :)

I think Russians, Germans, and French all have harsh accents in English.
A lot of accents sound "gruff" or "brusque" in English to me. I think it's important to consider how you would say something politely in your own language and not resort to "pidgin" if possible. I understand though, that the person who speaks that way is PROBABLY not rude in their own language and that rough sound is just part and parcel of being a foreign speaker.
A slight accent with good English may sound very elegant to some people.

I'm Russian and people thought that I was Dutch when I spoke English. When I spoke German, they thought that I was French....
I am Russian.
"because Russians palatililize nearly all consonants, making them beautifull soft."
not all consonants, only before vowel i and i: (me), before j (cure).
