I want to send a letter to an Armenian organization in Armenia, but I'm not sure if it will be easy for them to communicate with me in English. I hear Russian is like a second language there. Is this true? and do you recommend that I write the letter in Russian instead?

Are there any Armenians here who speak Russian well enough, and are willing to volunteer to translate the letters back and forth?

Thanks

I am a freshman in college and am currently taking Arabic as part of a Middle East studies minor. I am adding a second minor in either East Asian or Russian Studies and I wanted to know which language would be easier to learn.
I realize that there are two different types of Chinese. I would be taking Mandarin

I am not taking either to have an easy second language. I want a challenge, but not one too overwhelming.

I've already got the alphabet down and all of the sounds, but are there any websites for grammar or vocabulary? And if you speak Russian as a second language, tell me how hard it was. I think it's a lot like English, but maybe that's just me. Can you give me any free websites that you learned from. And if you've used Rosetta Stone, tell me how hard that was and about how long it took you. And yes, I use LiveMocha.

When I learned English (as my second language) as a child, I had to learn how to write the alphabet in cursive. And even though many teachers prefer cursive writing, I never do it. I am currently learning Russian and I can't stand the way my professor writes the cyrillic alphabet in cursive. So, I was wondering... is it common for people in Russia (despite their early learning of writing in cursive) to hand write things in block letters?

I was watching a news clip of the Chinese president being spoken to in Russian by someone but couldn't see if there was an interpreter. Does anyone know if he speaks Russian?
Also, is the US President the only one in the world who is not fluent in a second language?
calm down Ben I never said he's required to know more than one. RE-read my question.

I want to learn a second language one i can use and i am looking for a free site for emersion type of training in russian or ukrainian

Do practically everyone in the former Soviet Republics speak Russian as a native language or second language?
Is there specific data on the number of people who can speak it?
Thanks.

Is the Russian language still being taught as a second language in Serbia, Bosnia or Croatia.
