Which Indo-European language has the most difficult intonation to imitate, in your opinion? Swedish, British English, Russian, Italian?
Intonation
Swedish has tones so I suppose it is quite hard to pronounce it properly
Of all the European languages I've studied a bit, Swedish has by far the hardest pronunciation I've come across. On the other hand, Russian I've found to be quite clearly spoken, easy to pronounce and not particularly harsh either.
Pronunciation and intonation are two different aspects in phonology...A language can have a hard pronunciation and an easy intonation and the other way round...
For me, the hardest intonation to imitate is French, because I'm not a gay and it feels weird to pretend to be one.
"I'm not a gay..."
