>Please explain me this.
Several of the consonants have a softer, fronted version (q, j, and x in pinyin). Not that I know much about Russian but it has fronted versions of most consonants. I have no idea if they are similar or not.

>What I understood about Chinese having learned it a couple of years is: you might learn sigle characters and the way they are pronounced, however, since 80% of all Chinese every day words consist of TWO syllables, you should learn them in pairs with TONES. Burn them in your fucked up brain without thinking what the single part mean.
Yes but these double character words arose because of homophone issues and the simplifying of the allowable sounds in a syllable. Apparently Middle Chinese had fewer homophones and Old Chinese may have been monosyllabic like Vietnamese still is today. The tones were also produced by processes related to simplifying syllables. You're right that memorizing single characters is mostly pointless because it's better to learn actual words instead.

Well, let me explain you le Russian point of view on Chinese (who'd help us to wreck you *joking*)

Russians started to use pinyin as well. However, they still "explain" the pronunciation with Russian "sounds".

zhen corresponds to Russians ЧЖEHЬ (CH+ZH+EN)
jian is accordingly цзиэн (you don't have ц in your language that's why Russians are better buddies with Chines than you yankees)

What I wanted to say is that for a Russian (even a Jew) it is still fringin difficult to learn Chinese.

>Several of the consonants have a softer, fronted version
Well, it is just like "le fuck" while the impact is focused on "fuck".

Indeed, you don't need to put right "ton" on each of two syllables in a word. Mostly, the second syllable is pronounced without a tone. but Chinese kinda get it right. Why? they know which syllables match and how.

>Apparently Middle Chinese had fewer homophones

You mean me or in general?

My dance class was basically me trying not to get a panic a attack from begin so close to girls and dreading life when we had to choose are dancing partners in front of the whole class. If you picked a girl who didn't like you she didn't hesitate in make the "I'm disgusted" face. It was pretty cruel.

If you mean in general, well... pretty much like in the video. It's folklore, not something you'd dance in a club or anything.

Arabic sounds like you have sand stuck in your throat. Totally disgusting.
English sounds like you have a potato in your mouth.
German: occasional random sharp sounds from the throat. Has a character though.
Dutch: the weird mutant child of German and English.
French: bab bop bip jitvö be se truaaa ses va mua. They sound like they are trying too hard.
Turkish: üzülmüshmüydünüzmü, bunch of same vowels and "ish"/"yor"/"si" at then end. Kinda annoying.

To me, Japanese sounds the best. It has a nice phonetic and a slight rhythm.

I also had dance classes in school/high school, it was the best subject tbqh. We have learned ALL kinds of Brazilian dances and in the last year of high school we learned Tango and "Zumba".
It was pretty cool even though I'm shy. During the class everything was perfect, my best memories are from those classes.
Also, we have danced all days of the last week of the last year in school.

If I wasn't busy I would enroll in a Cumbia dance class

I still have a dictionary that belonged to my grandfather. He worked as a translator with the Soviet mission when the Soviets were buddies with the Chinese. It's dated 1952 as The Great Stalin still qualified as The Father and The Teacher of All Volks in the Soviet Union.

Why should they use the Latin version if the Cyllilic one is indeed more clear and straightforward? BTW, Taiwanese still use their ackward "pinyin" version.

i dunno what the vowel reduction is but russian in music, well, it sounds pretty soft and warm in melodious songs, especially in sad or melancholic ones. its not like "gay-ish" some fags on the internet often say. its just soft and warm, and nostalgic.

i might prefer russian to any one of the west, because it gives a "naturally" nostalgic feel to me, whereas most of the western music, except for a few of brit underground ones, sound somewhat artificial in such a way.

>How would you represent zhen, jian, chen, and qian respectively? That might clear some things up.

Let's start with "zhen". In this case, ZH is not like JOUR, Gendarme, or Je in French. It consists of two consonants: CH like Cherokee and ZH like French Jour. It means you have two vibrating consinants after each other.

In russian transcription, it's ЧЖEH

This is how they write Shenzhen, for example: Шeньчжeнь

Let's see.
I never really thought whether I like russian or not. I guess it's bretty gud.
I like polish. Maybe because it sounds familiar and funny at the same time.
I like japanese, it sound natural to me (probably because of anime and martial arts). I also find japanese writing and calligraphy beautiful. Sure, kanji are inherently chinese, but chinese sounds like shit.
Korean is kind of nice too. I need to listen to it more to form a complete opinion.
Recently I've come to like spanish. It seems like an expressive language but without needless overcomplication. Kind of want to learn it.
English is ok and can be pleasant. But I dislike american accent most of the time.
I used to like german a lot. I don't really care about it anymore, but it's okay I guess.

French probably sounds the most pleasant for me. But they have some real oddities in writing, and I find it so extremely difficult to follow spoken French. But as far as how it sounds, it is really, really pleasant.

English is one I find really interesting because there are so many dialects and accents. It is really difficult to use it in a rich manner however.

Spanish is also pretty pleasant but a bit more crude than French.

Italian and Japanese are way way too "snappy". Italian is less so, and since they articulate heavily, it is actually quite nice to listen to. Japanese is straight up monotonous and too fast.

German is practically industrial. Unfortunately we only get Austrians here, who speak with a dialect that is best summed up as german sped up by 1.5x; I was learning the language for a year and still couldn't understand a damn word of what they said.

All the scandinavic languages as well as Belgian and hollandian are like how German would sound if it smelled like flowers instead of greasy oil and gears.

Except for Finnish, which is like Hungarian spoken backwards. It's like I know all those words but I don't understand a single one of them.

Slavic languages can all rot in hell; except Poles, they are good friends.

English is honestly the most aesthetic language that is spoken by humans on this entire planet by a rather significant margin. Only Russian comes close. Truly worthy of it's lingua franco status.

The romance languages don't sound nearly as refined and sophisticated to me and Japanese rubs me the wrong way with how high pitched it is.
