Hi, russian was my first language but because i live in america
I forgot it cuz my parents divorced (my WHOLE family is from russia)
and my mom remarried an american.
I have a special talent for languages, i picked up spanish in a year.
How long would it take for me to learn russian again?
will it one day come back? is that even possible?
and i plan to live in russian when i grow up an go to university there.

I am 17. English is my first language, Spanish my second. I am very good with language in general, and am dying to tackle Russian. Opinions/pointers/warnings?

English is my first language and I've had three years of French. Now, since I'm somewhat fluent in French, I want to learn start learning Russian. I've always had an interest in Russian and I taught myself the Cyrillic alphabet when I was in 12 (18 now). I can read Russian and I can listen to something and be able to write it in Cyrillic. However, I have no idea what I'm reading or writing!

How hard is learning Russian? I got the alphabet down, I just need to learn the language.

Hello there.
My first language is English (as you can already tell), and I originally was learning Latin in Middle School, but hated it. I am now in my second year of college and I was thinking of possibly taking up this Rosetta Stone software or whatever it is, to learn either German or Russian.
I guess its all a matter of opinion, but what is yours?
Russian or German?
By the way, I am not looking for whats easier, just what I enjoy, which will probably be Russian.

Can anyone offer some insight? (Chinese is my first language, and I am also fluent in English. In the past I have tried to learn French but found it very difficult).
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
but would knowing Chinese make Korean easier for me to learn?

Joseph Stalin was born in Georgia(Gruziya) and his first language was Georgian. I'm curious if he had a Georgian accent when speaking Russian. He was a leader of Soviet Union and he promoted Russian history and language. Did he speak Russian like a native Russian speaker or did he have an accent?

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'm from a Russian speaking family but grew up speaking English as my first language. Lately I've been studying written Russian more formally and have been speaking/reading it for hours at a time. I've started to notice that after I've been immersed in Russian for a while, my English isn't as great as it normally is. Words don't come to me as easily and my sentences sound awkward. I write for a living and it's becoming a problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
