I want to start learning a language, I'm leaning towards Czech. I was wondering if Czech and Russian are the same ( or at least very close ) language wise. I've got a couple Russian friends, and I was wondering something. If I spoke Czechoslovakian to them, would they understand it?

I have been thinking of learning a new language for a while now, I've tried to learn Japanese but it wasn't anything for me.
I have some Russian friends both in Russia and here in Sweden and I'm going to Russia next year so I think it would be fun to be able to speak Russian.
I do also have a big interest in their culture and history. =)

Im russian/armenian and i want to talk to russian/armenian girls. We have lot only armenian girls in my school but i dont realy like that kind. I would like to talk to russian girls or armenian/russian girls where can i talk? Btw im not good in armenian. Only can talk a little. In russian i can talk but not read or write.Any advice? My school is in glendale california and i barely see russian girls. I got some russian friends but we dont got many russian girls at our school it suck..

I have lots of Russian friends on Facebook who like to sign their names in Russian when they write wall posts, and I'd like to be able to do the same. Does anyone know how to transliterate Chris Carroux into Russian? It'd be greatly appreciated!

My last name is French, so it would be pronounced "cuhroo" with an emphasis on the "oo" sound. Also, if you could include the transliteration for Christopher, then that would be great. Thanks!

I am half Russian and I have many Russian friends so I would love to learn it.

Is a teacher good?
A book?
A computer program?

Is it a hard language to learn?
No I'm serious,

I would like to speak and write in
russian.

I would love to get very good at it too.
Thank you everyone!

What is the best way to learn about Russian culture and language? I have several Russian friends, but I want to know more and more quickly since they're all gone for the semester/graduated.

Hello everyone. I am a mechanical engineer and i want to learn Russian. I am working in an international company and in the near future we will need qualified workers who speaks russian as a foreign language. By the way i need russian friends to be in contact to make some practice. Does anyone want to help me?
