For example I tend to notice that people speaking Spanish seem to put out a lot more syllables per minute than people speaking English do..is this really how it is, or just how I perceive it because I don't understand it?
Do people of other languages really speak faster?

english is just super efficient at saying what needs to be said and that is why this sentence that I'm articulating is so perfectly short and sweet.
spanish has more ways to say "the" than i cared for, once they told me that, i quit bothering with the silly language
that and the sound is very unpleasant to my ears.
english is quick and easy but not precise.
in korean for eg, there are 5 different words for uncle, each word tells your precisely what the relationship between the child and uncle is, mothers brothers, fathers older brother, fathers younger brother, mothers brother in law, fathers brother in law.
in english you say, oh he's my uncle, then if the other party asks, you have to say, my uncle on my mothers side . . .
in korean, the one word has already told you which uncle.
