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.

HOW DO YOU SAY:

1) HELLO, HOW ARE YOU? IS IT "PREE-VEE-YETT?"

AND (2) WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OR MEANING OF "HA-DA-SHO"

BEGINNING TO START LEARNING RUSSIAN SOON, OBVIOUSLY NUMBER ONE IS THE MOST COMMON IN ANY LANGUAGE AND I'VE HEARD #2 PLENTY OF TIMES AMONGST MY FRIEND'S PARENTS AND RELATIVES. FOR ANYONE THAT IS RUSSIAN, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR WRITING RUSSIAN WORDS/PHRASES INCORRECTLY. I'M UNSURE OF HOW IT IS SPELLED OR SAID, HENCE THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING. THANKS

I am Armenian so both my parents no russian and i know i can learn it if i put my mind to it. But how long do you think it will take if i practice lets say 30 mins a day to be a basic rookie russian speaker ? lol i really love russian music and want to learn russian to talk and understand

my grandma used to be able to speak fluent Russian when she was little and could tell us what her parents called her and her siblings in Russian. She cant remember how to speak it anymore, but i was just wondering how you would pronounce Nicole in Russian. any answer would help. thanks.

Okay, I am Russian, and can understand and speak Russian. I just cannot read or write it. I'm 13, and my parents moved to the USA when I was 3, so I never have ever had a chance to learn the alphabet. I bought the book, Russian in 10 Minutes a Day, and it is a workbook, and has tons of information. My Russian Opera singing teacher wants me to learn it, so I can sing in Russian. I just need to know the Cyrillic alphabet to understand it. My next singing lesson is next Wednesday. How can I learn just the alphabet fast. My BFF who is Polish and Hungarian, learned it in literatly 1 day. So, anyway I can know it well in a few days?

I am 16 living in california, usa. Was born at Russia,Moscow. But i moved from russia to usa when i was like around 4. My mom is russian and my dad is armenian. Mom has russian accent. Did i not live in Russia long enough for an accent? If I dont have the accent how i get it back? I still know how to talk Russian, but not how to write or read. Actualy i never learned how to read or write russian since parents moved to usa wen i was only like 4.

My parents speak Russian at home, though they speak just regular Russian. I can speak it, though If was talking to someone who's like 16-18, I'll probably be a tad difficult to understand everything that is said.

I've been married to my husband for several years. He's from Russia and we have a son. My husband and I speak English together. Sometimes his parents speak Russian and I'm left out of conversations, but rarely. Now we're teaching our son Russian and I wonder if I should learn Russian too. I haven't been motivated, because my husband and his family speak English when I'm around. My husband's taught me some Russian words, but he didn't seem to care if I learned Russian or not. Should I learn Russian? If so, what's the easiest way to learn Russian? Should I have my husband teach me, get audio tapes at the library, or take a Russian language course?

I'm 13 years old and in grade 8 and I only speak English. I guess I am pretty young to be even trying to learn but I want to give it a shot. I'm really interested in learning how to speak Russian and Egyptian -I know they are two totally different languages but I think it would be cool to learn them- but I just don't know where to start. I've grown up around parents who are just not the type who'd be supportive about me learning something like this, or anything really. I have the time and the patience to learn it but there's no one to teach me so, I was wondering maybe if there was a good book for beginners? (for me a book would be the easiest but I'm also open to learning from a website online though it would have to be free) I know it won't be as accurate as learning from someone who actually speaks the language but I can try at the very least. Plus I figure that if I get the basics of it now then maybe it might be easier for me to learn later when I find someone who can teach me. Can you help me please?? even if it is just your opinion I'm open to anything.

P.S
--- I mainly want to learn Egyptian since I find their culture the most interesting.

Thank you!

I heard there was a child who spoke Russian and the parents had no idea what he was speaking till someone advised them it was Russian. The baby was never around any one other than English speaking people. Is this true?

the same as Russian spies
or will there be facing real penalty
Saw Russian talk show with some parents of those students. One of the congressman there said, "what is ,000,000 for USA? No big deal" . The parents claimed their kids had no idea they were wrongdoing. Bulls---t is you ask me.

My friend wants me to teach him Russian but I said no since I don't have the time. Then he asked me how he should get started learning Russian Words or Alphabet. I have no idea because I just know from when my parents taught me.

If you live in the West, how do you crackdown on your kids speaking too much English at home? I know my parents forbid the use of the English language in the house, I don't know if I should go that extreme...?

I didn't see it last night but on last week's episode, where they all went out for Daniel's b-day and got called into a secret interrogation room, he claimed he speaks 5 languages and some lady asked him in Russian "do you speak Russian?" and he was stumbling and making excuses. What the hell? How does he have an accent if he doesn't speak Russian? Do you think the show is fake and he is a paid actor?
If his parents are from Russia, then they would speak Russian at home and he would learn it, too!

I can speak it, my parents can read/write and speak it. I would like to learn how to read in Russian, but do not know how to approach doing so. Where do I start?

Using the English alphabet and not the Cyrillic alphabet please how do you say in Russian " Sorry for getting off in the middle of our conversation my internet stopped working. Yes I am in college, I am going to school in Minnesota right now are you in college? I was born in Moscow but my parents moved when I was a baby! How long have you lived here?

it's for my parents, I want to teach them a little bit about America but they don't understand English good enough to be able to read it.

If anyone finds a link of it on the internet it would be greatly appreciated
deceleration of independence*

My husband is Russian, but I'm not. Our son is 2.5 years old and is really close to my husband's parents mostly because they live only 25 minutes away from us. My son stays a lot of weekends with them. He is already learning Russian words from them, but should I get my son into Russian language lessons with a Russian teacher?

I was born in Russia, Moscow lived there 4 years parents came to US dunno why, but I really miss Russia and the snow I always loved snow. But I never learned how to read and write Russian but I learned how to read half of the alphabet but not write. I forgot a lot, I cant speak as well as I used to.
I watch Russian tv sometime but not often but I like the movies. I want to watch Brigada but need a good website? Youtube doesnt have all of it.
My mom and dad can read and write Russian so on website they can take me to movie place. I will take Russian at college in my senior year which is this September. I have like 25 Russian music dont think it is enough. When I learn how to read and write perfect will my read write, talk understand get better and stay that way? I need buddies from Russia to make my Russian better if you can help me.
Thanks

This is for people who have taken Russian before. Please. My parents won't let me get Rosetta Stone. Too expensive.

I used to have the accent when i was born in russia moscow and stayed there for 4 years then parents moved to california usa. But i been in usa like 12 years and i can barely hear my accent. When i talk english i just have a deep voice i guess. If i talk russian at home and english at school can i get my accent back?
