I do not know a word of Russian, but I do attend a Russian/Ukrainian/Kazakh church occasionally. We have a lot of people here in my town who are from the former USSR and it's such a blessing to have made friends with some of them!!! Whenever I visit their church I just feel like their worship is so heartfelt.

Jul, Dont dissapoint people, It is not a beautiful language. it is very similar to german by sound. Not all that beautiful you know. it doesnt flow as easlity as french of spanish. or Ukranian

It is a beautiful language,

Read Russian poetry, and then English

Its ridiculous when compared, I think its because our language is simply far more complex, and the thoughts we can express on paper are therefore much more articulate

English simply does not allow for meanings as deep and complex as Russian

Just my opinion, but then again, this can be compared by reading Pushkin, followed by any of the great English poets

But, Daniil! I honestly think Russian is beautiful My father is a poet - he'll tell you!

But I do agree though that these other languages flow more easily =)))) Romance languages live up to their name

God bless you!

I've lived in Italy and spoke a little Italian there. Lived in Germany too. I've heard Europeans have to learn English. I wonder if it is harder to learn English than learn any other language? I've watched Russian opera videos (which are great, I love Prince Igor) after a season of watching Verdi and Puccini operas.)

The language sounds really pretty and would be interesting to learn I think, since I've had some exposure to other languages.

Wow, nice!

My dad is currenly overwhelmed with neverending conferences and meetings he needs to attend so most of his poetry now is stuff he writes for people's birthdays.
