I was originally born in Russia and I came here to the U.S. when I was 5 1/2 years old. I used to speak Russian, but I lost it because my adopted parent doesn't speak english. I am now 17 and trying to learn Russian again. How long would it take me to relearn the language? Would I ever be able to get my accent back?

It would be very easy. Just learn to read the alphabet, and pick your way through a book (living language ultimate russian, colloquial russian) Any BOOK you can get your hands on. Just take notes and try to speak it as best you can. Living language comes with tapes, but make sure that you just listen to it whenever you can. BBC has good russian news. DO NOT GET ROSETTA STONE! It is just expensive and it is for very beginners. It doesn’t even take you very far. Don’t waste your money. Or, you can see if you can take a few years of it at a university seeing as you are seventeen.
it is possible!!!!
rosetta Stone is fast easy and affective it is expensive but it is worht giving up your dead presidents for!!!!
You may want to rephrase your question:
as I understand it:
You used to speak Russian, but you lost fluency in it because your adopted parent doesn’t speak english?
I think you mean your adopted parent(s) doesn’t / don’t speak Russian and maybe that’s why you lost it.
It depends ..
Are you able to take a class in high school or college? Any russian speakers who live near you? I know there’s a BIG community of Ukranian ex-pats in San Francisco
No one can tell how long it will take you to learn it. It all depends on you. Get self-study Russian books, good grammar books, pick up russian literature books. Get on some russian forums, watch russian movies etc. Accent wise… the more you speak it with russian natives, the better you get. But don’t buy Rosetta, it is useless.
