Only a tiiiiiiiny bit, and only when I was... seven? Eight? My father randomly decided my brother and I should have lessons with this lady who lived in the next town, and this went on for a few months until he (our father) lost interest, as so often happened. We learned a few phrases and, of course, Cyrrilic, but I've long since forgotten all of it. I can still transliterate, but that's more from all the Greek that's happened since than the original Russian lessons. (I'm hoping I might get to relearn/learn properly if I get accepted to the Peace Corps, though!)

And you? Are you a native speaker?

Oh, wow, your father sounds like quite the character.
Hey, I don't know much about your childhood, and would like to, if you'd like to share more ( it 's ok if not, though)


Greek! So very cool!


Me, I am not a Russian speaker at all, sorry if I unintentionally misled.... I SHOULD be a Russian speaker. I'm still trying to figure out my father's ethnicity, and the deeper I go, the more outlandish it is - I recently discovered that not only did his family immigrate five times - he spent years of his childhood as a vagabond across Russia, Ukraine, and a lot of Europe. Apparently there were caravans and camels involved. I don't know what to do with that information. but anyway - one of his main languages is Russian, but that didn't happen with me....

That's one word for him.

Whoa, that's a colorful bit of family history. What prompted their emigrations, if I may ask? Not that there was any shortage of possible reasons in the last century...

Sorry.... sounds like we might have something in common there, for what it's worth....

My family - I don't know about everything, but I know a relative went into labor hiding in a barrel during a pogrom in Ukraine, at some point, my grandparents were stranded in Sibirya spontaneously running from communist government, several relatives were almost killed / killed at Nazi concentration camps, I don't know enough Latin American history to figure out why my family left and whether it was to do with anything political, or what happened there. Then amy grandparents + 3 young children
spent years traveling looking for relatives who may have stayed alive -
I'm guessing maybe they didn't have a clear place to go back to or something specific they wanted to wi with their lives.... idk.
