re: #174 Idle Drifter
Actually, I’ve been wanting to learn a foreign language for sometime. In High School I could read Spanish but never speak it very well. Russian appealed to me from a professional stand point when I was working for Schlumberger. They had a school in Russia I would have rather attended than the one in Saudi Arabia that was placed out in the middle of a faceless desert.
I must say that the Mormon missionaries I met here had pretty good Russian, and AFAIK they’re only trained in language for several months. I wonder what courses they use.
