It halps to listen for some common words or phrases when trying to id a lang. In the Russian case, their phonetics are often first names, Anna, Boris. Ivan, Nicoli, where we use Alpha, Bravo, India, November in the same instance, so that can help id the lang. Ukrainian sounds like Russian to me so I'd not know any difference, and the same for the rest of the slavic nations, save for mebbe Hungary, Lithuania, and Romania. I've listened to Foni Tis Elladas enough to usually know when I'm hearing Greek. On Japanese and Chinese, I think Japanese is multisyllabic while Chinese is monosyllabic otherwise I'd not know what I was listening to, the rest of the Asian langs I simply pile into the other than Japanese or Chinese group. It's nice to have a section for translations and identifications here at hfunderpants is it not? Hell, there are people in my own country who grew up only a few miles away from here I can hardly understand - I'm looking at you, northern Kentucky!
