personally I'd love to learn Spanish but would it be useful ? I don't really like French but it's probably the most useful one and I really should learn Russian cause all of my family speaks Russian... its hard choosing just one for now
My first language was Russian, I spoke it fluently until I was 6 and went to Australia - so I sort of forgotten everything. Russian is also more difficult to learn and takes like 5 years.

I am Italian of heritage with a passport and hence a whole EU passport. Considering that Russia is not a part of it and i live in Australia is their any point learning it when i have family in Italy and full rights as a citizen in the EU? And how could i practice it when Italian is only a step away and considered easier?

GOTSALKS. its my last name and my grandfather was born there so it must be able to be translated. i have tried on google but i'm not 100% sure if i was right.
well that could be true i spose. my great grandparents left russia in 1946 to come to australia, and my great granmother was born in latvia so i just assumed it was russian but thanks anyway. if it can be translated can somebody please?

As much as I know, Russian doesn't have any influence upon (Latin) America, Africa, & Australia, but perhaps it is generally regarded as an important language in Europe & Asia, the question is that, how important is Russian respectively in Europe & Asia. & Is Russian really harder than German in aspects of grammar, cases, gender, & syntax ? And is Russian really much easier than Arabic? Thanks !
