the hard part is talking it at a normal speed..lol
Since im not use to using V or K in alot of words
or very long words, its kinda hard to say it fast.
Easy to read & Pronounce.

I wonder what speed you consider 'normal'. If one Yulia speaks at then... well all I can say is 'don't try to repeat this trcik at home'. She's in the league of her own
Speed will come with confidence. Confidence will come with practice. Russian indeed isn't that hard as we don't have obvious tongue-twisting sounds.
From what I remember from Learning russian thread we had couple of years ago, the most difficult thing about russian pronouncation is softness of consonants. Many find it quite hard to make those sounds different enough. With reading main trouble is vocals though
We constantly pronounce 'o' as 'a' and 'e' as 'i' etc. Well and for some people Zh, ch, sch sounds are hard a bit, spanish people often find it hard to get 'b' and 'v' difference right. Depends on the native language a lot but in general, spanish speakers shouldn't have serious problems with russian.
