I don't speak it, but I can read it. Hardest part was not having Russian as a font on my 'puter. Bing translator did the rest.

I tried learning Russian in college, but found that by the second year, the Russian homework was chewing up 60% of my homework time, and it was an elective class. So, I dropped it.

I did learn (or so they thought) Korean in the Air Force, which is partially where my screen name comes from.

But that was more than 20 years ago. I find that I remember more Korean when I've had a few drinks, but without any means to practice it with a real person, it faded quickly once I got out in '94.

I spoke fluent Thai after two days and about 130,000 baht
