Were you safe?
Actually, the main hypothesis is that a structure patched with people who were watching the match collapse for the weight, causing a strong noise which was mistaken for an explosion, causing the panic of the crowd.

I'm at home, so 60km from there, but I know several people who were in there and so I'm quite worried for them right now

Can be quite ugly, though the guy in the video is emphasizing his accent on purpose.

Yeah Italian is very melodic, much more so than Spanish, but for some reason I am partial to the latter. Must be because I listen to a lot of salsa, bachata and merengue.

German can sound really nice when spoken by certain persons but the same can be said of any language.



Btw did you enjoy your trip? Things that you liked or that put you off?
French and German always sound like someone is reprimanding you lmao. France is a gorgeous country and Paris is a very beautiful and romantic place, but I wish you guys spoke Italian. I will say this though, French girls are smoking hot.

What artists do you like btw from salsa, bachata and merengue?


And my trip was amazing, I enjoyed it very much! I really loved Croatia a lot, gorgeous country with beautiful women. Italy and Germany were great too. Athens I didn't like too much though, it was very run-down and dirty with graffiti everywhere. It seemed more like a Middle Eastern city than a European one (not that surprising, Greece isn't very far from the Middle East).


Another thing I enjoyed was how cheap alcohol was. You can get quite drunk in Greece and Croatia with just ten Euros.

This is a super interesting topic! I thought you may find it interesting to know what French sounds like to me.

It sounds very slurred-together at times: all the words seem to run together. There's a very noticeable rhythm that seems to be completely unique to the language - difficult to describe, but I would recognize it anywhere. The nasality of the vowels is noticeable, as well as the sounds of "u", "eu", and "oi". Overall a very vowel-heavy language.
It also sounds like a lot of the consonants weaken to almost nonexistence...b can sound almost like a weak w, for example.

Overall, it's certainly not an ugly language to listen to, and can be very nice. Not really my favourite, though.

At a local park. Two women are speaking Russian. Interesting sounding, not my favorite language

Russian sounds as lovely as Italian when you compare it to German.


Greek was another language that sounded really harsh to me.

Greek sounded soft to me, and it seems to have that Spanish lisp too

It's more the tone Greeks speak in rather than the language itself. They always sound like they're insulting each other, lmao.
