    Naw... the best way to learn any language is to have a lover who is a native-speaker of the language you want to learn!

    I've heard it said that there's nothing in this world quite like having a Russian woman for a lover! You could probably even master that dreadful Cyrillic alphabet of theirs without batting any eye if only because the, uh, rewards would be so wonderful!

    The trick is staying healthy long enough to actually master the language... the rumor is that Russian women are, uh, moody.... :cynic:

    Of course I can read Cyrillic - and often I detect a German word that the Russians have borrowed from us - like "Marsch-Route!" :)

    Often they are in a good mood - but not always. :)

    With respect, I'm not a fan of German and Dutch accents. I'll take Danish (or even French) over those, any day.
