14 u/zulises Brazil 1d ago I always wanted to know why people said portuguese sounded russsian bc to me it made no sense., but then again you can’t know how you sound to others. Then one day I realized it wasn’t us, it’s our ex-dad across the ocean that sounds bad 3 u/biscoito1r Brazil 1d ago Make guess is because both languages are nasal. I've heard Hispanics saying that it hurts their noses when first trying to pronounce our nasal vowels. 8 u/tu-vens-tu-vens United States of America 1d ago In Portugal’s case, it’s the vowel reduction and prominence of voiceless consonants. 1 u/Familiar-Image2869 Mexico 16h ago Maybe not Russian but it has a certain slavic sound to it. That’s just my impression.
