Sounding

At the risk of sounding too forward, I'd like to make a comment.

Everyone loves to hear praise, but over-praise has the opposite effect of sounding insincere.

Try sounding him out and see if he'll come around.

"It is when you overcome that, that a boy becomes something-something" "If you're trying to say something important sounding keep talking right to the end!"

It is because light travels faster than sound that some people look brilliant before sounding stupid.

What a nice sounding word!

Learning collocations is one step towards sounding like a native speaker.

In my day oral proficiency was neglected because professors maintained that the purpose of studying a foreign language was to become acquainted with its literature, and not to strike up a conversation with the illiterates who happened to be its native speakers, which leads us to the conclusion that what constitutes a natural sounding sentence may be quite subjective.

I'd still highly recommend that you contribute sentences in Russian, so we could have sentences we can all trust as sounding natural.
