Yeah, but after one look at that alphabet and I kinda gave up.

LMAO Me too! I took French for 5 years so I can read it well and speak a little, but writing...ehhhh since I haven't been in class for a year, I don't think I'd really know where to start anymore. But the point is I can still understand it. Now as far as Russian...ever since I became a fan of t.A.T.u., I've been so interested in Russian and in other languages. Whenever foreign people come to my work, I just listen to their languages, reveling in how they sound. I have to say though, it doesn't matter what an Australian says, I just turn into a puddle and melt. I do admit that if it wasn't for the girls, I really would've cared less about Russian, but now I feel myself drawn to it--I love to hear it and I watch any special on TV about Russia. I'm just a sucker for accents. lol

I studied French, German and Latin at school, and then at the age of 12 decided I wanted to learn Russian. No classes, so I got a book (written in the 60s) and started trying to teach myself, but the pronunciation had me totally foxed. I actually ended up starting Japanese at high school because I couldn't take beginner's Russian there. I've had a couple more abortive attempts at learning the language, but for the moment I'm just having to be content with picking up the odd word from my bf. I wish I had the willpower to teach myself, but if I don't have the incentive of being told off by a teacher for not studying, I don't do anything. I'm such a lazyass
